Library Avenue Bridge Over Rail Lines Shutting Down for Repairs

State transportation officials have revealed plans to shut down the Library Avenue bridge that crosses over Amtrak railroad tracks for necessary maintenance work.

The Delaware Department of Transportation says the Route 72 span will be unavailable to drivers starting Thursday, June 11, while crews complete bridge repairs. Officials estimate the work will take roughly eight weeks to finish.

Transportation authorities indicate they will establish alternate routes for motorists during the construction period.
