Lordville-Equinunk Bridge, Road bridge over Delaware River between New York and Pennsylvania.
Description
The Lordville-Equinunk Bridge is a steel girder road bridge spanning the Delaware River between Lordville in New York and Equinunk in Pennsylvania. The structure rests on two concrete piers in the water and provides free passage for vehicles across the river.
History
The first bridge at this location opened in 1870 with a wooden tower and wire suspension design, but a flood destroyed it in 1903. The current steel girder structure came after two previous suspension bridges failed due to environmental stress.
Culture
The bridge location marks a historical transportation point where George Lord operated a ferry service starting in 1850, connecting different regional communities.
Practical
This crossing is the farthest upstream after the Delaware River's east and west branches merge at Hancock. Vehicles can use the bridge anytime without toll charges or access restrictions.
Did you know?
The current bridge opened in 1992 and replaced two previous suspension structures that both suffered structural damage from flooding and environmental stress. This recent construction is engineered to withstand the harsh natural conditions of the Delaware River.
