  • Historical Survey of the Lehigh Gap Chain Bridge Toll House © 2019, Charles T
    Historical Survey of the Lehigh Gap Chain Bridge Toll House © 2019, Charles T. Evans! The existent Lehigh Gap Chain Bridge Toll House is closely connected to the history of the Lehigh Water Gap Chain Bridge (1826-1933). The earliest attempt to build a bridge across the Lehigh River near Lehigh Gap occurred in 1818 when Thomas Craig (1739-1832) who lived in the vicinity, built a wooden bridge across the Lehigh River almost within the Gap itself. This was the first bridge to cross the river at that spot, but it was destroyed by a flood a few year later.1 Before that first bridge, people crossed the river at Kuntz’s ford, which was below the Gap proper. Several years later, in February 1825, a company was incorporated for the building of a new suspension chain bridge across the river at the Lehigh Gap. Key principles included: John Dieter Bauman (1773-1853, who owned a grist-mill on the eastern bank of the river), John Rice (1790-1868), Christopher Kern (1768-1842, brother-in-law of John Dieter Bauman), and Dr. James Jameson (1771-1831). Dr. Jameson was also an investor in other bridge projects, notably the bridge in Catasauqua, also a chain bridge in the corporation, more than any other shareholder.2 In March 1826, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed an act “To authorise (sic) the governor of this commonwealth to incorporate a company for erecting a bridge over the river Lehigh, at Kuntz's Ford, in the counties of Lehigh and Northampton, and also to authorize (sic) the governor to incorporate the Lehigh Water Gap Bridge Company.”3 The eG neral Assembly laid out the provisions for the establishment of the corporation: Seven commissioners appointed to oversee sale of stock in the new corporation • $25 for each share.

    Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission July 17, 2018 Elaine L. Chao Secretary of Transportation United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Re: BUILD 2018: Riverside Drive Multimodal Revitalization Corridor Project Dear Ms. Chao: This letter is to express support for the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s request for a 2018 BUILD grant. The grant funding requested is a missing link to fully connect the 165-mile D&L Trail. The project location near the mid-point of this long-distance trail will impact the four townships and three boroughs that the Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission represents via Allentown’s Riverside Drive Multimodal Revitalization Corridor project. We include Parryville, East Penn, Mahoning, and Franklin townships as well as Lehighton, Weissport and Jim Thorpe Boroughs. Riverside Drive is a 3.25 mile multi-municipal commuter corridor, includes a twelve foot bike and walking commuter corridor that is part of the main north-south route of the D&L Trail. This is a collaboration of more than 20 local public, private and non-profit organizations working together. It is a critical commuting link in the 165-mile Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Trail network and offers an alternative travel option to regional trail systems and job centers. It improves connectivity between rural and urban areas of the Lehigh Valley and eastern Pennsylvania. The project is located along a vacated rail corridor adjacent to a redevelopment project known as The Waterfront, in the City of Allentown. On the large former brownfield, formerly Lehigh Structural Steel, the project will provide a river walk, floating docks to support public access to the river, two public plazas, and a main street through the adjacent site redevelopment.
