I have adored this bridge for decades ever since crossing over her as a Boy Scout in the early 1980s. She is a stout, wrought-iron girl built from the components of a train bridge that once crossed the Susquehana River. Her massive iron pier guards no doubt allowed her to survive severe flooding in 1903, 1955, 2005, and 2006. She is, I believe, the fourth bridge to span this spot over the Delaware. The former bridges lacked her fortitude and resilience. She is the last privately-owned toll bridge over the Delaware River, owned by the Dingman family. Interestingly, no toll is charged for those traveling to church or a funeral.

I love this bridge, the style, and the old fashioned, pay with cash, not ezpass. The view from the bridge is great!

Great family spot and great for a motorcycle ride. We rode up last weekend. Went to the falls and had a blast - the falls are an easy 5min walk. Great places to eat around there also. Keep $2 cash handy for the toll lol.

First review: Very narrow bridge, so cross slowly with your mirrors folded. The view on the bridge is amazing. Be prepared to have dollar change with you because, as you can see in the picture, no ezpass, cash toll collected by employee who stands between two lanes. 😀
2nd review: I crossed this bridge 2nd time on the 4th of July, 2019, and had a bad experience. On the bridge, before toll collector, three volunteers were wearing same color clothing as toll collector and standing in line very close to bridge, I thought they are toll collectors so gave one dollar toll and moved on. At the starting of the bridge, saw miserable lady standing so I thought I gave toll already so kept driving passed her and next thing is, she started screaming loudly this is a toll bridge, like I was going to run off for $1.00 toll, I stopped and told her that I gave toll to one of the gentleman already, she says those are volunteers like I knew. These volunteers were wearing the same vest as toll collector and no sign of the name of their charity. Her attitude was disgusting and unprofessional. We pay $19 toll on verrazano Bridge in NYC sometimes twice a day, so $1.00 toll is not an end of the world for us. This senior citizen lady needs a serious attitude adjustment and needs to come out from the cocoon of the small town world. It was a genuine mistake, and I have never seen volunteers standing so close to toll booths and never seen toll collectors collecting toll out in open. This bridge needs Ezpass toll collection very soon, so employees like her do not spread misery on an Independence day.
