When does the SR 36 bridge at Cedar Beach open?

The SR 36 Bridge over Cedar Creek opens on signal, with seasonal rules from April through November set by 33 CFR 117.

Does Delaware have live drawbridge status?

Not for these movable spans — DelDOT’s live feeds cover road incidents, which the MileCheck app shows statewide alongside mile markers.

How it works: opening rules come from the US Coast Guard’s Drawbridge Operation Regulations (33 CFR Part 117). DelDOT’s live feeds cover road incidents, not bridge spans — schedules are the tool here. Bridges without a map pin are listed with their rule but haven’t been precisely located yet.
