When we entered Deleware, we lost satelite connection! If not for road signs we would have passed this by....it is literally a bridge and nothing more. No place to stop, no souvenir shops...not a good use of time, unless you have plenty of it.

If you take the rapid transit to get in and out of DC, this is a logistical have to on your list of places to see. Not really in "place to see" though. It's a transport station, with some stores, but there's so much to see in DC, not worth sticking around.
