The bridge connects Bull's Island Recreation Area near Raven Rock, Delaware Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey to Lumberville, Solebury Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.

The bridge, with four spans crossing the river and another crossing the Delaware Canal, was a wooden covered type, engineered by Solon Chapin of Easton, Pennsylvania, and a partner, Anthony Fry.

[1] The original covered bridge incurred major damage in the flood of 1903 and one of the three river spans was washed away.

Repairs were made and the single missing span was replaced in 1904 by a steel truss section.

In 1947, the Trenton firm of John A Roebling's Sons, Co. was hired to replace the structure with a pedestrian bridge.
