That bridge is still standing because people in the community have come forward each generation to help maintain and preserve it. If you want to be one of those people, then support the fundraising effort by buying the book about the Bridge and giving it to all your friends for the holidays. All proceeds go to the upkeep of the bridge. Check it out here for more details: http://www.historicnewtownsquare.org/store/item_details.asp?Item_Code=REF004
