The Riverton–Belvidere Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Delaware River and connects Riverton, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania on the west side of the river with Belvidere, New Jersey on the east side.

There is no toll for crossing on either side; tolls were abolished by the Joint Commission for the Elimination of Toll Bridges in 1929. The bridge is 652 feet long, can carry a traffic load of 8 short tons (16,000 pounds) from the former Pennsylvania Route 709 on the Riverton, Pennsylvania side to the County Route 620 Spur (Water steet) on the Belvidere, New Jersey side.

From Allentown, Pennsylvania, take US 22 eastbound to Easton, Pennsylvania, US 22 goes over the Bushkill Creek twice but there are no tolls to cross the Bushkill creek. Continuing eastbound, however, immediately after crossing the Bushkill Creek, take the 4th Street Exit, to SR 248 and SR 611. Immediately after the exit you will arrive at a traffic light at Bushkill Street. Turn right onto Bushkill Street and drive east two blocks to N. 3rd Street (during which there will be a sign indicating that Northbound SR 611 is to the left, however, it was covered with tree branches when I drove past it.) and at the intersection with N. 3rd Street, there will be another traffic light. Turn left onto N. 3rd Street, go under US 22, (this bridge will have the words "College Hill" on the under structure) and continue north on N. 3rd Street and you will see another sign indicating a right turn. Immediately after turning make a quick turn down to the right along a rock wall on the left (there is another sign indication that SH 611 is down this road, which is named Buskill Drive). After driving about 1000 feet, you will arrive at N. Delaware Drive, this is SH 612. Turn left and drive north along the Delaware river for about seven miles to Martins Creek, Pennsylvania and when you arrive at Front Street, there will be a traffic light. The North SH 611 sign will be on the left sidd indicating that to continue on SH 611, you will turn left. Do turn left and both Delaware Drive and SH 611 continue east out of Martins Creek, Pennsylvania for another mile where SH 611 turns to the left to continue north.

However at this intersection, you will leave SH 611 and continue east, now on Belvidere-Martins Creek Highway for three miles and there will be a Y in the road (to the left is Richmond Road) continue straight on Martins Creek-Belvidere for another two and a half miles when you will arrive at the Riverton-Belvidere Iron Bridge. The bridge has a traffic light at both ends and you may have to wait for oncoming traffic to cross.

In 1832, the state created the Belvidere Delaware Bridge Company, which was paid to build a bridge across the river at the location of a ferry crossing. The bridge construction began in 1834 and was completed in 1836. This bridge survived two large storms in 1836 and 1841, but sustained major damage during both storms.

In 1903, the major floods which many bridges along the Delaware River Valley destroyed this bridge as well. On 17 October, the bridge′s toll collector closed the gate, the preventing anyone from crossing. That evening, at 6;40 pm, the bridge collapsed, tumbling into the river below. After the storm cleared, Belvidere restored a ferry service to Riverton.

The following year, 1904 the bridge at its current location, a new bridge was built with a steel foundations instead of the previous wooden one. The contractor hired believed that the new bridge should be built with new concrete abutmement and piers instead of the old wooden bridge′s piers. Also, with the new piers, the deck level was raised to above flood level.

On 05 September 1904, the bridge was finally transferred to the Bridge Corporation and a toll-taker was hired. In October 1928, after the charter and opening of the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, (DRJTBC, the one currently operating most bridges on the Delaware River) the Bridge Corporations was asked to sell the bridge to the DRJTBC for $60,000 (1928 USD, now over $1.2 million today), and prior to the sale, the Bridge Corporation permanently abolished toll from being charged to cross this bridge, making it free to cross from either end.

After the sale was completed, the DRJTBC began making extensive repairs to the 25 year old structure, adding new beams for the bridge, new decking, and the extensive repair to one bridge pier.

Starting in October 2006, the DRJTBC began an $8.8 million rehabilitation of the structure, extending the life of the bridge and not having to keep shutting it down for frequent major repairs. The Bridge is still a Non-toll structure due to the 14 June 1929 action to abolish tolls on the bridge. However, is is now considered to be a toll supported bridge by the DRJTBC.
