Delaware River Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
The Delaware River Viaduct stretches 1,452 feet across the Delaware River with five 150-foot spans and two 120-foot spans supported by six piers.
Construction of this reinforced concrete railroad bridge began in 1908 and concluded with its official opening on December 24, 1911.
The viaduct represents a period of railroad expansion in the northeastern United States when companies invested in concrete infrastructure development.
The structure requires extensive repairs and funding assessment for potential restoration as part of Amtrak's proposed Scranton to New York City service.
The bridge features a tangent alignment instead of the originally planned curve, resulting in speed limitations of 55 miles per hour for trains.
