Indian River Inlet Bridge, Road bridge at Indian River Inlet, Delaware, US
The steel and concrete bridge spans 2,600 feet across the Indian River Inlet, connecting the northern and southern segments of Delaware Route 1.
Built in 2012, this bridge replaced five previous structures that had crossed the inlet since 1934, marking significant progress in Delaware transportation infrastructure.
The bridge links Delaware Seashore State Park sections, providing access to fishing grounds, beaches, and maritime activities central to local community life.
Four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways enable travelers to cross between Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach while offering views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The cable-stayed design features blue support towers reaching 249 feet high, making it visible to ships navigating between the Indian River Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
