Spanning just over 2 miles (11,000 feet), this graceful suspension bridge is a crucial roadway
linking
Delware and New Jersey with more than 80,000 vehicles crossing daily. It’s also a lasting memorial
to the soldiers who gave their lives in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm.
Every Veterans Day, a special ceremony is held at the Bridge War Memorial overlooking the Twin
Span.
Blastech Enterprises, Inc., an IUPAT industry partner, was selected to completely strip and repaint
all four
440 ft suspension bridge towers for the first time since construction was completed in 1951.
