Mid-Delaware Bridge
The Mid-Delaware Bridge, sometimes known as the Port Jervis–Matamoras Bridge or the Fourth Barrett Bridge, is a continuous truss bridge which carries U.S. Routes 6 and 209 across that river between those two communities and thus the states of New York and Pennsylvania. Although it did have 4-Lanes at one point in its life, it only has 2-Lanes as of today.
