The Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River were now connected by a navigation channel measuring nearly long, deep, wide at the waterline and wide along the channel bottom. A covered wooden bridge at Summit, Delaware, spanned the canal across the "Deep Cut", measuring between abutments. The bridge floor was above the channel bottom. Three wooden swing bridges also crossed the canal. Locks to pass vessels through the waterway's various levels were constructed at Delaware City, Delaware and St. Georges, Delaware, and two at Chesapeake City. Each measured long and wide and was eventually enlarged to in length and in width.
