New York–Pennsylvania Joint Interstate Bridge Commission

The New York–Pennsylvania Joint Interstate Bridge Commission, or simply the Joint Interstate Bridge Commission, is an interstate agency jointly owned by the states of New York and Pennsylvania. The commission was formed in 1919 by the two states to manage the crossings of the Delaware River that connected them.[1] It currently maintains and operates 10 toll-free bridges from the New Jersey–Pennsylvania state line to the end of Pennsylvania and New York's shared border along the Delaware River.[2]

History

In 1919, an idea for a commission to manage the bridges between New York and Pennsylvania was proposed by state officials. A meeting was called by the New York Commission in May 1919 to establish the New York–Pennsylvania Joint Interstate Bridge Commission. Promptly, the existing bridges spanning the Delaware River were examined so that their value could be assessed and they could be purchased. Within the next five years, almost all of the existing bridges spanning the Delaware River between New York and Pennsylvania were owned and operated by the newly founded commission.[1]
