Mid-Delaware Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Port Jervis, United States
Description
The Mid-Delaware Bridge is a steel truss structure that spans the Delaware River between Port Jervis in New York and Matamoras in Pennsylvania. The crossing carries US Routes 6 and 209 and features a framework of interlocking steel beams typical of early twentieth-century bridge design.
History
The R.C. Ritz Construction Company completed this steel structure in 1939, replacing an earlier suspension bridge designed by John A. Roebling. The new construction represented a major shift in crossing methods for the Delaware River in this area.
Culture
The bridge links two states and serves as a daily route for people commuting between New York and Pennsylvania. It shapes how the local communities on either side of the river relate to one another.
Practical
The bridge is accessible daily as part of US Routes 6 and 209, making it easy to find and navigate. Visitors can view the steel framework from the roadway or nearby areas along the Delaware River.
Did you know?
The bridge was originally designed with four traffic lanes but now operates with only two. This reduction in capacity reveals how infrastructure adapts when engineering meets practical limitations over time.
