Easton–Phillipsburg Toll Bridge

The Easton–Phillipsburg Toll Bridge is a modified Pennsylvania (Petit) through truss bridge that carries U.S. Route 22 over the Delaware River. The bridge is located between Easton, Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg, New Jersey in the Lehigh Valley.

The Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge opened on January 14, 1938 and is operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.

Features
The main river bridge consists of a 540 ft Petit through-truss span over the river; a 430 ft, five-span plate-girder viaduct at the New Jersey approach, and a 40 ft pre-stressed concrete boxbeam span over Pennsylvania Route 611 on the Pennsylvania approach.

The overall length is 1020 ft. The four-lane facility has a roadway width of 40 ft. There are 8 ft concrete pedestrian sidewalks outside the trusses on each side. The bridge is the 9th-longest (main span) simple truss and 9th-longest (main span) steel truss in the United States. When it was constructed in 1938, the bridge was the longest steel truss in the United States, a distinction it held for 19 years.

Tolls
The toll plaza collects only westbound lanes going into Pennsylvania, and includes the E-ZPass system. As of January 7, 2024, the toll rate per car is $3.00, or $1.50 if E-ZPass is used.
