Lumberville – Raven Rock Bridge

Lumberville-Raven Rock Bridge is a pedestrian suspension footbridge that spans the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The five-section metal structure rests on nineteenth-century stone foundations and is supported by steel cables that give it its distinctive appearance.

The original structure was a covered timber bridge built in 1856 to cross the Delaware River. It was replaced in 1947 with a modern suspension footbridge while keeping the original stone foundations in place.

The bridge serves as a walking connection between two river communities, regularly used by locals and visitors exploring the Delaware River valley on foot. It has become a gathering point for people seeking to experience the shared landscape between two states.

Access is available from both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania sides without barriers. The bridge is best visited during daylight hours to safely enjoy the views and explore the pathways along both banks of the river.

The design was created by engineers from John A. Roebling's Sons Company, specialists in such structures. The combination of modern steel design with preserved historic foundations shows how old and new construction techniques can work together.
