The Mid-Delaware Bridge, sometimes known as the Port JervisMatamoras 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 four lanes at one point in its life, it only has two lanes as of today.
