The Lordville–Equinunk Bridge is a girder bridge that connects Lordville, New York with Equinunk, Pennsylvania, United States over the Delaware River. The current structure opened on July 24, 1992, five and a half years after the previous suspension bridge was demolished after quick deterioration.[1]

History

Second suspension bridge, 1904–1986

In 1850, George Lord was granted a license to operate a ferry over the Delaware River on this site.[3] In time, the area outgrew the ferry and planned a bridge. This bridge was designed by E. F. Harrington of the John A. Roebling's Sons company as a wire suspension bridge with wooden towers.[4] It opened on January 1, 1870 and was destroyed by flood on October 10, 1903.[5] It was replaced by an eye-bar suspension bridge which opened June 4, 1904.[6] This second bridge lasted until February 1984 when it was closed due to an undermined pier, which caused one tower to lean and the bridge to sag.[7] The bridge was demolished on November 24, 1986.[2] Construction of the replacement bridge started in May 1991, and the new bridge opened in 1992.[2]

The current bridge is the furthest crossing upstream after the Delaware River converges from the east and west branches at Hancock, New York.
