Historic preservation is one part of DelDOT's involvment with cooperating with the public and private organizations to beautify and preserve landmarks and other parts of Delaware's cultural heritage, be it bridges or buildings. Archaelogical excavations are yet another way DelDOT is involved in working with the community to learn more about this heritage. Some amazing discoveries have been made through these excavations, revealing facts of how the early residents of this region lived and interacted. We have learned much about past societies throughout the region. As more and more projects arise, we hope to continue our learning experience.
