As of December 31,
2020, DelDOT maintains
{{000}} bridges in
Delaware. There are 112 bridges that are owned by others, such as
municipalities or railroads. The bridges range in size and type from a simple pipe
culvert, to draw bridges, to the new Indian River Inlet Bridge. All bridges undergo
routine bridge inspections in compliance with federal standards to ensure the bridge's
integrity and the public safety. Deficiencies found during inspections are monitored at a
frequency that is appropriate, with the intention to systematically rehabilitate or
replace them to bring them into compliance with current standards.
