Seeing the bridges: It would be a little difficult to see all the
bridges in one day. Finding a place to park near some of the bridges can be
difficult. Also, you need to be extremely careful if you walk through a bridge
as the vehicular traffic sometimes proceeds too fast. Most of the bridges are
located in the more rural upper part of Bucks County (northwestern portion)
