Lewes drawbridge works as advertised
The Delaware Department of Transportation performed its annual testing of the Savannah Road drawbridge in Lewes April 15. The span was raised just after 10 a.m. and lowered a few minutes later. The opening caused a brief traffic backup, but gave people a rare look at the bridge in the up position.
