Summary

Significance: The New Hampton Bridge is one of three composite cast- and wrought-iron pony Pratt truss bridges in New Jersey, and one of the few still existing in the United States. First used in the mid-19th century, by 1870 the iron Pratt truss had become a common feature on the Pennsylvania Railroad and a number of its affiliates.
