Wooddale Covered Bridge Reconstruction Complete

 

Greenville, Del, December 17, 2008 - The Delaware Department of Transportation has finished work on the Wooddale Covered Bridge and Rolling Mill Road reopened on Dec. 15.

The bridge, which spans the Red Clay Creek on Rolling Mill Road, was washed off its abutments by Tropical Storm Henri in 2003 and deposited downstream.

Reconstruction of the bridge began on Sept. 4, 2007, by Middletown contractor Mumford & Miller Concrete, Inc., which finished the project for $3.374 million.

The bridge was rebuilt using Bongossi woo, a super-strong type of African timber that was also used to make repairs on Ashland Covered Bridge.
