Neshaminy State Park is located at the confluence of Neshaminy Creek and the Delaware River in Bensalem Township. Good opportunities exist for freshwater tidal wetland restoration on land adjacent to a proposed bicycle and pedestrian bridge. This bridge is intended to accommodate East Coast Greenway trail users through the park so that bikers and walkers can avoid the heavily traveled State Road Bridge.

The Bucks County Redevelopment Authority and PEC were recently awarded funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) to conduct feasibility studies for the bridge crossing and for the ecological restoration of wetlands in areas adjacent to the bridge. This restoration work could be tied in with a wetland mitigation project planned for an adjacent privately owned parcel of land.
