Unlike the nearby St. Georges Bridge, the Reedy Point Bridge spans over salt marshes at the southern approach (which subjects Delaware Route 9 to periodic tidal flooding), the canal itself, and both Fort Dupont and the Governor Bacon Health Center.
The Reedy Point Bridge stands apart from the St. Georges Bridge in its location, crossing over salt marshes at the southern approach of Delaware Route 9, which is vulnerable to periodic tidal flooding. The bridge also traverses the canal and passes by both Fort Dupont and the Governor Bacon Health Center.
