The Raven Rock Road Bridge is a historic Pratt thru truss bridge that carries Rosemont-Raven Rock Road over Lockatong Creek in the Raven Rock section of Delaware Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[2] Built in 1878 by the Lambertville Iron Works, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2016, for its significance in engineering and transportation.[3] It was listed as part of the Historic Bridges of Delaware Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[4]
The long single-span bridge was constructed with cast and wrought iron. It features the use of patented Phoenix Iron Company round riveted columns. According to the nomination form, it is the earliest use of this technology on state highways.[3]
