Point Pleasant-Byram Bridge, Steel river bridge in Point Pleasant, US

The Point Pleasant-Byram Bridge was a steel structure spanning the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey with four main sections. The crossing connected both banks with a robust framework designed to carry traffic between the two states.

A wooden covered bridge was built at this crossing in 1855; it was replaced in 1892 by a first steel structure, and both were lost to weather-related incidents. The four-span steel bridge of 1903, privately funded, was a toll crossing until the Pennsylvania–New Jersey Joint Bridge Commission bought it in 1919. Flooding from Hurricanes Connie and Diane in 1955 swept it away along with three other river bridges, and it was never replaced; its piers remain in the Delaware River.

The crossing was run as a private toll bridge until 1919, when the Pennsylvania–New Jersey Joint Bridge Commission bought it, ending toll collection. It was the first bridge purchased in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The 1903 steel span replaced a wooden covered bridge of 1855 and an earlier steel structure of 1892, both lost to weather.

Stone piers remaining in the Delaware River mark where the bridge once stood between Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania and Byram, New Jersey. The site can be viewed from both riverbanks, giving visitors a chance to see the remnants of this former crossing.

The 1903 steel span was the first bridge Hunterdon County, New Jersey, ever purchased. When Hurricane Connie and Hurricane Diane destroyed it in 1955, three other Delaware crossings went with it, but only this one was left unreplaced, so its piers still stand in the river.
