Project Description:
Opened to traffic in 1951, the Delaware Memorial Bridge is located between Pennsville, New Jersey and New Castle, Delaware. By 1955, eight million vehicles were crossing the 440 foot high span annually - almost doubling the original projection. As a result, a twin span was dedicated in 1968. Today, more than 80,000 vehicles cross the eight lanes on a daily basis. These twin bridges, the longest twin span bridges in the world, are key transportation links within the eastern corridor of the United States.
Managed by Transdyn’s DYNAC ATMS® software and from a central control center, allows personnel to monitor and control various bridge aspects including Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), vehicle detectors, emergency call boxes, remote terminal units, CCTV, and a video control system. The system also provides for the management of river navigational lighting and aircraft, bridge, and roadway lighting.
