Story

Die Delaware Memorial Bridge ist eine Autobahnbrücke, die aus zwei nebeneinander stehenden Hängebrücken besteht und den Interstate I-295 zusammen mit dem U.S. Highway 40 von New Jersey über den Delaware River nach Delaware führt. Die Brücke trägt ihren Namen in Erinnerungen an die Gefallenen beider Staaten aus den folgenden Kriegen: Zweiter Weltkrieg, Korea-Krieg, Vietnamkrieg, Operation Desert Storm.PlanungBereits in den 20er Jahren bestand der Wunsch der lokalen Bevölkerung nach einer Brücke zwischen South New Jersey und der Region Wilmington–New Castle (Delaware) in Delaware. Nachdem 1926 die Benjamin Franklin Bridge eröffnet wurde, schien ein solches Bauwerk erst recht machbar. 1926 wurde als Übergangslösung eine Fährverbindung zwischen Pennsville (New Jersey) und New Castle (Delaware) eingerichtet. Die Pläne einer Brücke wurden vorerst von zwei Seiten bekämpft: die Hafenbehörde von Philadelphia und lokale Handelsorganisationen befürchtete ein Hindernis für die Schifffahrt und das Kriegsministerium befürchtete, dass im Kriegsfall die Brücke Ziel von Angriffen sein könnte und im Falle einer Zerstörung den Zugang zu den flussaufwärts liegenden Philadelphia Navy Yard abschneiden könnte.

The building where the funeral service took place was well maintained. It had a fresh scent which is something I did not expect. The interior and exterior was very clean, it looks like they really take pride in what they do.
