UPDATE:  as of November 2018 a new bridge has been constructed and opened. Per a news article:
"County Commissioner Charley Martin said there was talk about replacing the Walnut Street Bridge ever since he started as a commissioner almost 24 years ago. 

What really started the project in motion, though, was someone bringing a chunk of concrete from the bridge to a commissioner's meeting a few years back to show the condition of the bridge, he said. 

"Although we really didn't appreciate it too much at the time, that was certainly the impetus to move forward as quickly as possible and spur everybody to get this done," Martin said.

"So, in hindsight, I guess we have to thank them for giving us the big chunk of the bridge, the old bridge," he said. "It's a shame we didn't save that. We could've brought it today and given it back to you."

A bridge owned and maintained by Bucks County.  Penndot is responsible for 80% of funds to replace and pushed it off in 2001 on the Federal government claiming they didn't have the money.
