Historic Smiths Bridge in Delaware Set for Major Rehabilitation Efforts
Bridge 9 on Smiths Bridge Road in Wilmington, Delaware is an old bridge with a timber deck and steel beams that needs some work. The deck is in bad shape, but the rest is okay. They plan to replace the top part and fix up the bottom part. They want to make it look nice, fit in with the history, be safe, and handle traffic well. They will build a new one-lane covered bridge, slow down traffic, and improve visibility.
