Milford–Montague Toll Bridge

The Milford-Montague Toll Bridge is a steel structure spanning the Delaware River and connecting New Jersey with Pennsylvania. The crossing stretches roughly 350 meters (1,150 feet) over the water and carries two vehicle lanes.

An earlier crossing built in 1889 operated for nearly 70 years before the current steel bridge replaced it in 1953. Growing traffic demands and modern engineering standards drove the decision to construct the new structure.

The bridge links two popular recreation areas and carries visitors traveling between the Pocono Mountains and the river valley below. Locals rely on it as a daily crossing for work and community connections.

Plan for wait times, especially on weekends and during peak tourism season in the Pocono Mountains region. Crossing on weekday mornings or early afternoons usually means lighter traffic flow and faster transit.

The bridge was intentionally built higher than necessary to accommodate a massive reservoir that was planned as part of an ambitious dam project. The reservoir was never constructed, leaving the bridge's extra height as a remnant of plans that never came to be.
