The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) seeks public input on the Corridor Capacity Preservation Program (CCPP) proposed SR1 Plan Update. The SR1 Plan covers the areas between the Nassau Bridge just north of 5-Points in Lewes to the SR9 Grade Separated Intersection just south of the Dover Air Force Base. Opportunities for public input on the proposed strategies and proposed improvements along the SR1 Plan will take place at two (2) in-person workshops with an on-line option, one being held in Kent County, and one being held in Sussex County.
The Purpose of the SR1 Plan Update is to update and formalize a comprehensive 20-Year Corridor Vision that identifies access management and future roadway improvements and informs land use decisions with the goal of preserving the traffic capacity of SR1.
The SR1 Plan is not intended to encourage development or growth that is inconsistent with the Delaware Strategies for State Policies and Spending and/or the County and Municipal Comprehensive Plans.
