The Roebling Bridge across the Delaware -- connecting the past and present The oldest existing wire cable suspension bridge in the nation -- the Delaware Aqueduct, or Roebling Bridge, as it is now known -- connects the small towns of Minisink Ford, N.Y., and Lackawaxen, P.A., on opposite sides of the Delaware River. John A. Roebling, future engineer for the Brooklyn Bridge, designed this suspension aqueduct and supervised its construction in 1848 as part of the 108-mile-long Delaware and Hudson Canal -- an engineering wonder of its day. Standing on the bridge takes you back to a bygone era when canal boats floated high above this picturesque river. minisink lackawaxen delaware roebling brooklyn bri
