TDP report- Came across a cool building in an otherwise god forsaken neighborhood, the American Brewery building, never saw before, remarkable, I just gawked for a few minutes then thought it wise to skoot as I was all alone on the route. Amazing that these things are possible and that good people are reversing the tide of abandonemnet of these areas.
If the canal info you speak is the info I passed onto NR then you might not want to use it or check to make sure they finished the repairs. I lent him the Delaware Bike Map with a different route than he was going to ride. It was nearly the end of our beloved Isaiah. If memory serves there was a bridge being renovated********** Another option for your ride is to take the B&A trail to the Bay Bridge, hitch ride across the bridge, then ride east across Delaware. Very straightforward. Stay on the smaller roads and it will be very pleasant.
I remember that building before it was renovated. Back in the 80's when I first started brewing I saw it and dreamed about making into a microbrew pub. Ah the dreams of the young. The city had a hand in renovating it. I remember the Mayor at the ribbon cutting ceremony a year or 2 ago. It made the mid-Atlantic Brew-news publication.
