NorthhamptonStreetBridge3

Opened in 1896 over the Delaware River, connecting Easton (Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) with Phillipsburg (State of New Jersey). The parabolic line between the towers suggests a suspension bridge, but this bridge is actually a cantilever bridge. This bridge may be diminutive in size, but it's a remarkable display of the engineer's art thanks to its stately and artfully deceptive structural form.
