Millsboro Mulls New Bridge Over Indian River

Delaware Right

Millsboro officials are looking at building a new bridge over Indian River to catch up with the increasing population.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that state Rep. Richard Collins wants the Delaware Transportation Department to study whether the project is feasible.

The paper reports that the town has issued 48 building permits for new homes since the beginning of this year.

Officials say that would mean an additional 100 residents.

Collins says that there is one site that would not impact housing construction but he did not say where that would be.
