Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge, Delaware Canal State Park
Facts and practical information
The Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge was a bridge across the Delaware River between Point Pleasant, Bucks County, Pennsylvania and the Byram section of Kingwood, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The bridge was a four-span, steel structure that was built in 1903 after several previous predecessor bridges were wiped away by weather-related incidents. Funded by a private company, it was a toll bridge until 1919, when the Pennsylvania–New Jersey Joint Bridge Commission bought it. One of the most modern on the river, the bridge was the first bought in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Flooding from Hurricane Connie and Hurricane Diane in 1955 wiped away the bridge once again, along with three others along the river. Unlike the Yardley–Wilburtha and Portland–Columbia Pedestrian Bridge, the Point Pleasant–Byram Bridge was never replaced and the piers remain in the Delaware River. ()
