The Beesley's Point Bridge is a privately-owned toll bridge that exists along U.S. Route 9 in New Jersey, that is no longer in use by motor vehicles due to unsafe conditions. It crosses the Great Egg Harbor River, connecting Upper Township, in Cape May County to Somers Point in Atlantic County. The bridge is operated and maintained by the Beesley's Point Bridge Commission.

Before the Great Egg Harbor Bridge was completed, traffic on the Garden State Parkway was detoured onto U.S. Route 9 and over the Beesley's Point Bridge. This old alignment still exists today and is slowly being consumed by nature.
