It is considered unusual because it lies in northeastern Pennsylvania, where few representative truss bridges are located, while most exemplary examples are in other regions. It was built in 1904 by the Oswego Bridge Company and is significant under Engineering.","narrative":"Pond Eddy Bridge is a multiple-span steel truss bridge across the Delaware River, connecting Pike County, Pennsylvania, with Sullivan County, New York. Built in 1904 by the Oswego Bridge Company, it has two main spans totaling 505 feet and carries vehicular traffic on a wood deck. Its design is a Pennsylvania (Petit) truss, a form the nomination describes as found mainly in other regions of the state. The bridge is of moderate length, and its main members were replaced in 1982 on the upstream side. It is regarded as a representative example of the type and one of few representative truss bridges in northeastern Pennsylvania, where most comparable examples are in the north central, northwestern and southwestern parts of the state. Its significance rests on its engineering design, and it is one of ten Pennsylvania (Petit) truss bridges studied together as a group of Commonwealth-owned highway bridges.","period_of_significance":"1904-1905","architect_builder":"Oswego Bridge Company (bridge company)","architectural_style":"Pennsylvania (Petit) truss","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Vehicular use is noted as present; the main member was replaced in 1982 on the upstream side.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:35.823176-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/88002170.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002170/1589e14bed-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002170/1589e14bed-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Beyond My Ken","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pond_Eddy_Bridge_from_Pennsylvania_side_downriver.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyond My Ken</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pond_Eddy_Bridge_from_Pennsylvania_side_downriver.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993828","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pond_Eddy_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7227655"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/pike-county/pond-eddy-bridge-88002170/"}
