Dingman's Ferry Bridge, Toll bridge in Delaware Township, United States
Description
Dingman's Ferry Bridge is a wooden toll bridge that spans the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The structure connects Delaware Township on the Pennsylvania side with Sandyston Township across the river and carries regular traffic between the two states.
History
Andrew Dingman established a ferry crossing in 1735 to transport people between the two riverbanks. The current bridge structure was built later to replace the ferry service, yet it retained the original name and continues to serve as a vital crossing point.
Culture
The bridge carries the name of Dutch pioneer Andrew Dingman, whose family shaped the region for generations. Visitors today can still recognize the influence of early settlement in local place names and community stories.
Practical
The bridge is open daily for vehicle traffic and requires toll payment. Travelers should bring cash or check current payment methods before crossing.
Did you know?
A toll collector stands between the traffic lanes on the Pennsylvania side and manually collects payments from each passing vehicle. This hands-on approach to toll collection is rare today and echoes an older way of operating such crossings.
