The Callicoon Bridge carries vehicles and pedestrians across the Delaware River between the unincorporated hamlet of Callicoon in the town of Delaware, part of Sullivan County, New York, and Damascus Township in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, both in the United States. It is a multi-girder structure of steel and concrete built in the early 1960s to replace an older bridge built in 1899.
In addition to the river, it crosses the flood plain on its eastern bank in New York created by the confluence of the Delaware and Callicoon Creek, one of its major tributaries in the area, just downstream. As a result, the total length of the bridge's seven spans is almost a thousand feet (305 m). It is the longest bridge on the Upper Delaware.
The Callicoon Bridge uses the multi-girder design, with steel stringers supported by concrete piers and abutments. There are no overhead members. Traffic crosses on an asphalt deck 25 feet (7.6 m) wide, enough to hold one lane in each direction as well as a concrete sidewalk and steel guardrails. The bridge has seven spans of roughly equal length, making it a total of 966 feet (294.4 m) long. This makes it the longest bridge on the Upper Delaware.
