Press Release -- November 12, 2009

Postponed: Indian River Inlet Bridge Open House & Site Tour


Saturday, November 14, 2009 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Rehoboth Beach -- The Delaware Department of Transportation and Skanska USA Civil Southeast, Inc. (Skanska) announces that due to heavy rain, winds and coastal flooding, the "Open House" for the Indian River Inlet Bridge project scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2009 has been postponed.

Coastal flooding, high tides and continual rain are creating an unsafe travel condition in this area, and with the possibility that one or more lanes of Route 1 near the bridge may be closed over the next few days, the decision was made to postpone the event to a future date, likely in early 2010.

While DelDOT and Skanska are disappointed that we cannot move forward with a public workshop at this time, but welcome anyone interested in learning about the construction progress to visit www.irib.deldot.gov for construction photographs, updates and other interesting bridge related information.
