The construction of “dolphins” to protect the bridge began a year before the collapse of the Key Bridge in Baltimore.

The Delaware River Bridge will remain closed to traffic for at least eight more weeks while crews construct a permanent splice to reconnect a large vertical fracture in the 61-year-old symmetrical truss bridge.

The Delaware River Bridge was shutdown indefinitely over the weekend after a large fracture was discovered in the bridge connecting the Pennsylvania and New Jersey turnpikes.
