VINCENTOWN'S NORTH MAIN STREET BRIDGE
ACROSS THE "STOP THE JADE RUN"
In 1995, The Burlington County Engineering Department replaced the 1915 bridge at the entrance to Vincentown Village on Main Street which crosses the "Stop the Jade Run". The county was careful to integrate iron work from the earlier bridge into the design of the new bridge. It also selected an appropriate stone design to maintian compatibility with the rural nature of the setting at the entrance to Historic Vincentown.
The earlier 1915 bridge was constructed by the famous Canton Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio.
