1872: BEFORE THE CALHOUN ST. BRIDGE

You talk about rustic covered bridges! This was the bridge that spanned the Delaware back in the 1800's; it also burned down in 1884, thanks to the above article submitted by Groveville Historian and colleague, Gary Lippincott who maintains an excellent site dedicated to Groveville and Crosswicks area history, memorabilia, and ephemera.

Many thanks for that article Gary, you're the best!

Hi Tom,
Not sure but the date I read on the PA side of the bridge while passing over her recently I beleive was 1886. May wish to check, its on the steel beam over the roadway on the Morrisville side for sure and maybe on Trenton side as well. I beleive it also says the Phenoix Steel Co. Hope this helps.
