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.

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.
