The Kellams Bridge, also known as the Little Equinunk Bridge and Kellams–Stalker Bridge, is an underspanned suspension bridge spanning the Delaware River between Stalker, Pennsylvania, and Hankins, New York. It is the only bridge of its type in the United States.




History


The bridge was built by David Kellams in 1889 and opened in 1890. It was originally a toll bridge.
The bridge has historic significance as the last underspanned suspension bridge remaining in the United States. The deck of the bridge underwent major repairs in 1936, including replacement of the original wooden deck with the steel deck which remains today. The bridge was damaged by the June 2006 flooding of the Delaware River but was repaired in October 2006.
In 2018, as part of the Upper Delaware River bridge construction or renovation project, Kellams Bridge was temporarily closed for a $4.5 million renovation from March 5 to June 29 and then again from September 5 to November 15.
