Little Equinunk Bridge, Historical bridge in Manchester Township, Pennsylvania

The Kellams Bridge, officially the Kellams–Stalker Bridge, is a 384-foot underspanned suspension bridge over the Delaware River between Stalker, Pennsylvania, and Hankins, New York. Its single-lane steel grate deck carries Kellam Bridge Road, and it is the only remaining underspan suspension bridge in the United States.

A ferry run by William Kellam crossed here from 1860 to 1888. The Little Equinunk Bridge Company, formed in 1888 with $10,000 in capital, had David Kellam build the bridge, which opened in July 1889; a toll house followed in September 1891. The New York–Pennsylvania Joint Interstate Bridge Commission bought it in 1932 for $10,146 and ended the tolls.

Tolls shaped life here: 25 cents one way for a horse and carriage, 35 cents round trip, and 50 cents if the crossing used the Erie Railroad dock. The toll taker lived in a toll house added in September 1891, after two years without shelter. David Kellam, who built the bridge, was found taking tolls for himself, and his dividends were withheld until the sum matched.

The single-lane steel grate deck carries traffic on Kellam Bridge Road between Stalker, Pennsylvania, and Hankins, New York. The bridge closed in 1988 when its New York tower began tipping toward the Delaware River, and emergency and permanent repairs ran through July 1990. Check current crossing conditions before driving over.

It is the only remaining underspanned suspension bridge in the United States, with a 384-foot span and a single-lane steel grate deck. David Kellam, who had built bridges during the Civil War, bid $9,000 but the work cost $9,341. He died in 1895 and is buried near the bridge.
