Entering Port Jervis, NY, from Matamoras, PA
Green-Pike St.
(U.S. Rte. 6 and U.S. Rte 209) and King St.
(some photos have clickable hotspot links that can be found with your mouse)

Taken in Matamoras, PA, this photo shows the Mid-Delaware bridge that brings U.S. Route 6 East and U.S. Route 209 North into Port Jervis. An eastern view from the bridge shows the Delaware River. The distant mountains are the highest point in NJ and include the High Point Memorial. (center) Now in Port Jervis looking north from the bridge, Route 6 and Route 209 are also Pike St. At left is Gino's. At center is the sometimes confusing railroad underpass.
Seen at the corner of the Pike and King Street traffic light is the railroad underpass.  All vehicles traveling in this direction, except very local traffic, will use the underpass. Travelers continuing on Routes 6 or 209 stay left.  Those headed for the business district or the Metro North railroad stop will generally stay right.  Extremely wet weather sometimes causes flooding here.  The underpass (left) sometimes confuses semi-truck drivers and other motorists.  Residents say the underpass height is 1 ft. higher than shown and no normal height trucks have gotten stuck for years.
