Owned and operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, it carries Bridge Street, connecting CR 519 in Milford, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, with Pennsylvania Route 32 in Upper Black Eddy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Following a great flood in 1841, a wood-timbered, covered bridge was built in 1842 to accommodate business needs that ferries could not handle.

Severely damaged by a subsequent flood in 1903, during which it lost one of its three wooden spans, the bridge was repaired.

During its reconstruction, the ferry was put back into service while the bridge was repaired.

The wood spans remained in use until replaced by the current steel bridge in 1933; only the stone piers were reused at that time.
