Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge
The Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge carries U.S. Route 22 traffic over the Delaware River. The first of the seven toll bridges constructed and operated by the Commission, it was opened to traffic on January 14, 1938. The main river bridge consists of a 540-foot Petit through-truss span over the river; a 430-foot, five-span plate-girder viaduct at the New Jersey approach; and a 40-foot pre-stressed concrete boxbeam span over PA Route 611 on the Pennsylvania approach. The overall length is 1,020 feet. The four-lane facility has a roadway width of 40 feet. There are eight-foot concrete pedestrian sidewalks outside the trusses on each side.

The one-way toll plaza has five lanes and is located in the westbound direction on the New Jersey side of the bridge. It is the only DRJTBC toll plaza located in New Jersey.
The bridge currently 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 ranked first as the longest steel truss in the nation -- a distinction it held for 19 years.
