Scudder Falls Bridge

Scudder Falls Bridge is a road crossing that spans the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The structure consists of two parallel steel frameworks that together create a wide, stable driving surface.

The original structure was built between 1958 and 1959 to meet growing traffic needs in the region. Since then, it has served as a crucial link between the two states.

The bridge takes its name from a man who lived and died in this area during the mid-1700s. That connection to local history shapes how people in the region think about this crossing.

Drivers should know that a fee is charged for traveling toward Pennsylvania. Payment happens electronically through an automatic system or after the crossing using a photo-based method.

The bridge connects not just two states but also two historic canal systems. A separate walking path allows visitors to cross between the towpaths of both waterways.
