One Tank Trips: Explore Dingmans Ferry Bridge's history

In this edition of One Tank Trips, we're visiting a bridge that's celebrating 125 years of connecting communities.

The Dingmans Ferry Bridge is a throwback to a simpler time, where you're greeted with a friendly toll taker standing in the middle of the road and collecting the $2 toll by hand.

Unless, of course, you're going to church or a funeral.

Built in 1900, the Dingmans Ferry Bridge sits on the Delaware River, connecting Pike and Sussex counties in the beautiful Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

Action News content creator Bill Hartung and Photographer Tom Kretschmer take us there.
