MILLSBORO, DE — The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) was joined by Governor Matt Meyer; Lieutenant Governor Kyle Evans Gay; Senators Brian Pettyjohn and Dave Wilson; Representatives Rich Collins, Valerie Jones Giltner, and Claire Snyder-Hall; Mayor of Millsboro Bob McKee; Sussex County Councilmen Doug Hudson, Matt Lloyd, and John Rieley; and other guests for the North Millsboro Bypass Ribbon Cutting.
This project, designed to improve traffic flow, safety, and connectivity in the area, marks a significant milestone for Sussex County residents and businesses.
"The North Millsboro Bypass is an investment in the safety, convenience, and economic future of Sussex County," Meyer said. "Decades in the making, this project will ease congestion, improve safety, and make life better for families and commuters. We're proud to finally bring it across the finish line."
"As someone who lives in this community, I know firsthand that this bypass is an important first step in our plan for improving daily travel for area residents. We are thrilled to provide motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians with a new multi-modal connection that will open later this week," DelDOT Secretary Shanté Hastings said.
The $140 million North Millsboro Bypass Project consists of a two-lane connector road that begins at Route 24 near Mountaire Farms and extends westward to connect with Route 113 north of Millsboro. The project includes the construction of four bridges and an overpass, notably one that spans Millsboro Pond. A key feature of the bypass is a grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Route 113 and Route 20, designed to alleviate congestion and enhance safety in the area.
