Indian River Inlet Bridge, Finally, Two lanes are open, offering great views, Delaware Beaches, Second Half? Opening in June, bike lanes included
The Indian River is 15 miles long, located in Southern Delaware. The River is crossed in 3 places, Rt. 113 in Millsboro, Delaware, Rt. 24/Rt.30 also in Millsboro and in Rt. 1 at the Delaware Seashore State Park.
That’s where you will find most of us traveling between the Delaware beaches going north or south. It is a most scenic route. This is also a major route for visitors going to Ocean City, Maryland.
The bridge was considered structurally deficient due to tidal erosion, so for the past few years the construction of a new bridge has been underway. If you happened to have been caught in traffic during the summer months, on this route, well, think again. We have the new bridge completely open.
It is very impressive, modern, with clean lines. Best of all; the views have not been impaired.
I was traveling north, from Bethany Beach. This bridge is our highest point, probably in all Delaware, so it was great to see that expansive view covering the ocean and the bay. Never get tired of it.
Have a great day!!
