Delaware County has reopened the Mt. Alverno Road Bridge that connects Aston Township and Middletown Township. The bridge has been closed for a year and a half. The re-opened bridge will provide access to the Chester Creek Trail and its parking lot from the Aston Township side of Chester Creek.

The $4.5 million project was funded using federal, state, and county funds.

Of the 43 bridges owned by the County, nine bridges are in poor condition. As of 2023, four of these structures are or will be under construction by the fall of 2023 and three structures are currently in design with a fourth to start by the end of 2023.
