New Hope – Lambertville Bridge, Steel truss bridge between New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New Jersey.
The 1,053-foot steel bridge spans across the Delaware River with six connected Pratt trusses, each measuring 27 feet in height.
Built in 1904 to replace a wooden covered bridge destroyed by flooding, the structure became toll-free when Pennsylvania and New Jersey purchased it in 1919.
The bridge connects two riverside towns, promoting commerce and community interaction through its dedicated pedestrian walkway on the southern side.
The structure carries Route 179 traffic and includes an eight-inch diameter sewer line, serving approximately 12,400 vehicles daily between the two states.
During the catastrophic Delaware River flood of 1955, this bridge remained standing while requiring only five weeks of repairs to resume normal operations.
