Notes:
Significance: The Odessa Bridge is a steel plate girder, bobtail swing bridge that rotates on a center bearing, appropriate to a relatively short light span. The bobtailed swing form is relatively unusual, and the Odessa Bridge is one of two remaining historic bobtail bridges in the state. The Odessa Bridge replaced an earlier, cable-stayed metal truss swing bridge. The Odessa Bridge exemplifies the continuing expansion and improvement of the road network under the auspices of the New Castle County Engineer\'s Office prior to the Delaware Department of Transportation assumption of responsibility for construction and maintenance of all local and state roads in 1935.
