"Dingmans Ferry -- It's a little narrow. A little bumpy. And it's a pivotal part of this community. The Dingmans Ferry Bridge connecting Pennsylvania and New Jersey has been helping commuters and tourists get across the Delaware River for more than a century. The span connects Pike and Sussex Counties in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a scenic 40 mile forested stretch along the Delaware River."
"Your friendly neighborhood toll taker will take your payment by hand usually in cash, though credit cards are accepted. They are one part toll taker, one part greeter and you can expect to find them standing in the middle of the road in all sorts of weather. Chris Siggia's been entertaining customers traveling across the bridge for 15 years. He's happy to say hello in one way or another in the few seconds he gets to talk to you,"
Dingmans Ferry Bridge is a narrow, slightly bumpy historic span linking Pennsylvania and New Jersey across the Delaware River, serving commuters and tourists for over a century. The bridge crosses the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area between Pike and Sussex Counties. A staffed toll booth collects $2 per car by hand, accepts credit cards, does not accept E-ZPass, and is manned 24 hours except Christmas. Funeral processions and clergy travel are exempt; bicycles ride free. Toll staff act as greeters and informal guides. Ownership is held by about 65 individuals organized as the Dingmans Choice and Delaware Bridge Company.
