Easton–Phillipsburg Toll Bridge

The Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge is a steel truss structure that carries traffic across the Delaware River between two states. Four lanes of roadway run across the span, supported by a main central section that gives the bridge its distinctive appearance.

The bridge opened in 1938 as a key link for traffic between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, marking an important infrastructure milestone. For many years it held significance as one of the longest structures of its type in the country.

The bridge serves as a central connection point in the Lehigh Valley region, linking two states and supporting local commerce between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The crossing is open daily to vehicles and monitored at toll collection points where drivers pay their fees. Visitors should expect heaviness during rush hours when crossing times may be longer.

The structure was technically remarkable for its time and maintained its standing as one of the longest of its type for many years. Engineers viewed it as a major achievement in developing modern bridge technology.
