Summary
Significance: Thompson's Station Bridge (State Bridge 216) is one of six intact historic metal highway truss bridges in Delaware. With its Warren pony truss configuration, Thompson's Station Bridge is typical of the small spans built along local roadways in rural areas throughout the country in response to increasing traffic in the late 19th and early 20th century. In addition, structures like Thompson's Station Bridge played a vital role in the economic development of rural areas during the last quarter of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, as local transportation networks underwent initial phases of development.
