The Peck's Ferry Bridge is a historic Warren truss bridge that carries Locktown-Flemington Road over Plum Brook in Delaware Township of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[3] Built in 1900 by John W. Scott of Flemington, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1999, for its significance in engineering.[1][4] It was reconstructed in 2004.[5]

The 29 foot (8.8 m) long single-span bridge crosses Plum Brook, a tributary of the Wickecheoke Creek, which flows into the Delaware River at Prallsville. According to the nomination form, it is a modified Warren truss bridge. Scott also built the nearby Stone Sign Post Road Bridge over Plum Brook.[4]
