Summary
Significance: Bridge No. 456 is representative of a historic Delaware bridge type: the two-span beam-on-pile-bent timber bridge. Though built frequently in the state during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to carry roads over creeks of moderate size, the two-span form of the beam-on-pile-bent type does not survive in such numbers as does the smaller single-span timber bridge.
