THE CHESAPEAKE & DELAWARE CANAL BRIDGE

The Chesapeake & Delaware (C&D) Canal Bridge is being constructed as part of the SR-1 Project connecting I-95 to the existing Route 1 at Dover, Delaware. The precast concrete segmental bridge has a total length of 4650 ft (1417 m) and crosses the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal with a cable-stayed main span of 750 ft (229 m). The C&D Canal Bridge has demonstrated that precast segmental bridges can be erected economically in the Northeastern U.S. Furthermore, the focus on the esthetic value of the bridge by the designers has resulted in an elegant and attractive structure.
