REHOBOTH'S DRAW BRIDGES
Rehoboth Beach. February
27, 1940 Wilmington News Journal
Monday, Major H. B.
Vaughn, Jr., of the U. S. Engineers held a hearing with Rehoboth
Town Commissioners on the
construction of a draw bridge a half mile south of the present
Rehoboth Avenue bridge.
The proposed draw bridge
would have a 24 foot wide roadbed and two five foot walkways,
and carry the new coastal
highway between Rehoboth and Ocean City over the Lewes &
Rehoboth Canal .
Rehoboth residents feel a
new bridge is necessary since now there is only one bridge to
cross the canal.
The cost estimated
$170,000 This draw bridge would be 18 feet above high water
and
a clearance of 50 feet
when raised.
