A century ago, a bridge carried trolleys over Newtown Creek on their way to Doylestown. A stone abutment remains there today. Soon, a pedestrian bridge will be built at the site connecting Newtown Township and Newtown Borough, with the help of a $1 million state grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority. It came out of a grant application from Newtown Township, with the support of Newtown Borough, the Newtown Creek Coalition, Bucks County Government and other supporting groups. No timetable for construction was announced.
