Kings Highway Improvements - This project includes major improvements to the stretch of Kings Highway from Dartmouth Drive to Freeman Highway, including roadway widening, five roundabouts, and multimodal upgrades for shared-use paths and sidewalks. DelDOT has been working with Delaware Greenways and business owners. “They asked us to bring in a national consultant to just look at what we proposed based on the master plan and our concept design,” Hastings said. “We’ve done that, and work is underway with their review and recommendation.” Hastings said she hopes to have the consultant’s report this spring. Additional public outreach will happen after that. “The hope is we will have consensus and be able to move forward with design. The schedule is a little different than we had originally proposed, but we feel like it’s important to make sure we get the decision-making right up front, so we can rock and roll through design.”
