The Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge (St. Georges, DE) May 2023 Per Wikipedia:

The Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge (originally the Chesapeake &amp; Delaware Canal Bridge and also referred to as the Roth Bridge) is a concrete and steel cable-stayed bridge that spans the Chesapeake &amp; Delaware Canal near St. Georges (DE).

The bridge is located near a tolled section of Delaware Route 1 that runs parallel to the St. Georges Bridge carrying U.S. Route 13.

In November 2006, the bridge was named after U.S. Senator William V. Roth, Jr., who not only lent his name to the Roth IRA, but was instrumental in securing federal funding to build the bridge. It is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and does not carry a toll.

The Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge, the first cable-stayed bridge of its type in the Delaware Valley area (all previous Delaware River or C &amp; D Canal bridges are either suspension, cantilever, or simple truss designs), is also the first pre-cast concrete bridge to be built in the United States.[It is modeled after that of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, (FL).

The bridge incorporates a 3% climbing grade, a feature lacked on the nearby St. Georges Bridge. The bridge, built between 1991 and 1994, utilized pre-cast concrete segments that were made in Cape Charles (VA), and transported by barge until they reached the job site. Once at the site, the segments were fitted into place like that of a jigsaw puzzle.
