DelDOT Public Workshop on Phase I of Georgetown to Lewes Trail

The Georgetown to Lewes Trail will connect seamlessly with the existing Junction Breakwater Trail (seen here).

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is holding a Public Workshop to present to the surrounding residents, businesses and the general public for the proposed Georgetown to Lewes Rail with Trail, Phase I Facility. The project proposes to construct a 10 foot wide multi-use path from the east of Savannah Road to Gills Neck Road. The path will run parallel along the active rail corridor north of the track except in between Kings Highway and Monroe Avenue intersections, where the path crosses and runs on the south side near the proposed Lewes Public Library and proposed future trailhead connection. The multi-use path is for non-motorized use only, only granting access for emergency vehicles and periodical rail maintenance vehicles; equestrians are prohibited.

The Public Workshop will be held on May 15, 2014 at the Lewes Public Library from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Comments will be received during the workshop or you may send via email to dotpr@state.de.us.
