St. Georges Bridge in Delaware Closes One Direction at a Time From Nov. 9, Southbound First Through Nov. 30
The St. Georges Bridge in Delaware will close one direction at a time for several weeks of work starting Nov. 9, with drivers able to cross in only one direction at a time.
Southbound traffic closes first on Nov. 9 and is expected to remain closed through Nov. 30, though the schedule is subject to change. Crews will then switch sides, closing northbound traffic until about mid-December. Bicyclists and emergency vehicles will still be able to cross during the closures.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it will keep the Delaware Department of Transportation updated on the work. The 84-year-old steel tied-arch bridge carries U.S. Route 13 across the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and is a key link between northern and southern Delaware.
Officials urged drivers to plan alternate routes, allow extra travel time and watch for temporary traffic signs.
