Skinners Falls–Milanville Bridge
Skinners Falls–Milanville Bridge, Iron truss bridge across Delaware River, Pennsylvania and New York, United States.
Description
The Skinners Falls-Milanville Bridge is an iron truss structure spanning the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New York with two main sections. The design follows the Baltimore Through Truss system, a construction method commonly used for river crossings in the early 1900s.
History
The bridge was built in 1902 by the American Bridge Company, replacing a ferry operation that transported timber across the Delaware River. It represented a shift from traditional river crossing methods to modern steel construction in this region.
Culture
The bridge stands as an engineering example from the early 20th century, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
Practical
The bridge was a single-lane structure with weight restrictions that allowed only lighter vehicles to cross. Visitors should know the crossing is currently closed to traffic and can only be viewed from outside the structure.
Did you know?
In 1904, an ice flood damaged the New York section, and parts drifted downstream to Skinners Falls where they were recovered and repaired. This incident reveals the challenges that early steel bridges faced in this river region.
