St. Georges Bridge to close one direction at a time for weeks

Weeks of traffic restrictions on the St. Georges Bridge begin in a matter of hours, with drivers losing access to one direction of the bridge at a time through mid-December. The first closure will affect southbound traffic beginning Nov. 9 and is expected to last until Nov. 30, though the schedule is subject to change. Once that work is completed, crews will switch sides, closing northbound traffic until about mid-December. Bicyclists and emergency vehicles will continue to have access during the closures, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which said it will keep the Delaware Department of Transportation updated on the work. The 84-year-old steel tied-arch bridge carries U.S. Route 13 across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in St. Georges.

Maryland Officials Say Farm Keeps Polluting, Despite Fine And Lawsuit

Liquified manure, wads of uneaten hay, gallons of sour milk and juices from rotting cow carcasses. State environmental inspectors say those are the suspected ingredients of a toxic stew that has repeatedly overtaken a stream in northeast Maryland in recent years. It turns the water a sickly green, kills fish by the thousands and gives off a foul odor.

Kirkwood Sports gets $10 million upgrade and new name

Kirkwood Sports, the 65-acre soccer, lacrosse and field hockey facility, is now Sprinturf Performance Park at Kirkwood following a $10 million improvement project by BPG Sports . Work on upgrades began earlier this year to transition four grass field to turf, install stadium lighting, expand the parking infrastructure and renovate the indoor turn arena. Buccini Pollin Group’s sports management firm celebrated the capital improvements completion on Oct. 29 with an evening of free, open play and Halloween activities that was attended by nearly 500 kids and their families, according to a release from the firm. “Sprinturf is a major draw for Delaware, and we’re proud to invest in a top-of-the-line facility that will keep bringing coaches, players, families, and out-of-state dollars to our community,” BPG founder Rob Buccini said in a release. “These capital improvements will solidify the complex as a premier tournament destination for many years to come." The facility's name change comes after BPG Sports designated turf manufacturer Sprinturf its official turf partner across its portfolio and as the exclusive title naming rights partner of the facility near New Castle. Other work on the facility included adding additional parking lots, which reduced the 14-field complex to 12 fields.

Ryan Cormier dishes on THC drinks, LeBron, 'Widow's Bay' & Newark music

Fall is a lively time in the First State, with festivals, holiday fun and tons of reasons to explore Delaware. We caught up with longtime Delaware Online/The News Journal reporter Ryan Cormier to chat about the Delaware entertainment and food scenes. Question: How was the second year of Wilmington Porchfest ? Why do you think people are responding so strongly to the concept? Answer: It was fun, but different for me. For the first one, four homes a block from my house in Wilmington's Trolley Square participated, and it created a mini festival feel. After they had their own Springfest earlier this year, they decided to sit out Porchfest and rev back up next year. But I still went out to a couple of the host porches to see some bands, including Wilmington rock band Eastern Elk on North Scott Street and a nighttime performance by veteran Delaware cover band Chorduroy on Rowan Street, which drew a big crowd. When you're used to seeing bands in bars, it's fun seeing an organic all-ages crowd enjoying live music in a non-traditional space. You and Andre Lamar did a deep dive earlier this year on the lack of live music venues in

Rep. Mike Smith ‘reconsidering’ seeking reelection in 2028 after saying he wouldn’t

The only incumbent statehouse Republican in New Castle County is reevaluating whether to run for a fifth term in 2028 after previously ruling out the possibility. Rep. Mike Smith (R-Pike Creek) was recently named the next president of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and said he would not run for reelection in 2028 should he win this current bid. The 41-year-old was re-elected to the House District 22 on Tuesday. He told Spotlight Delaware he has defied a Democratic voter registration advantage in the district by building a personal brand grounded on constituent conversations, small business and entrepreneurial support, and raising a young family. In a Tuesday interview at a polling site at North Star Elementary School, Smith said he is “reconsidering” a 2028 campaign because many people have reached out to him and asked him to run again. “They’re saying, ‘You’re an actual public servant that helps us,’” he said. Smith said he will make a final decision in the new year. In September, Smith had told Spotlight Delaware that he would not run after 2026 after fielding questions about a potential conflict of interest pertaining to his new role leading the state’s Chamber of Commerce.

Rotarians honor Newark veterans, other community heroes

Members of the Newark Morning Rotary Club gathered at the Newark Reservoir on Sunday morning to honor veterans and other community heroes, against a backdrop of several hundred large American flags. "We are deeply honored to honor the men and women of our military who have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy," Rotary President Laurie Williams said. "We honor all veterans. They and their family have made incredible sacrifices to protect the way we live and the country we live in." The flag display and ceremony were part of the Rotary Club’s annual Flags for Heroes program. Community members and businesses were invited to sponsor a flag and dedicate it to their heroes, who were honored with a tag attached to each flag. While the event was planned to commemorate Veterans Day, the flags also honored first responders, healthcare workers and other community heroes. Receiving special recognition this year were school nurses from the Christina School District. "They serve the community and future generations in ways we can barely comprehend, so this year they are a special addition to the people we're honoring at this celebration," Williams said. The money raised by the flag sponsorships will be donated to charities
