WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - State parks officials say they have permanently closed a bridge in a park near Wilmington after damage from Superstorm Sandy and flooding rendered it unsafe.
According to a notice posted on the website of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Rocky Run Bridge in Brandywine Creek State Park has been found to be unsafe for any use. Officials say that includes foot and cycling traffic.
After Sandy in 2012, traffic was limited to pedestrian use. Further flooding weakened the bridge's support structure.
Officials say there is no other dry crossing over Rocky Run.
