Why is Rt 24 removed from the Coastal Corridors Study?

Last summer at the DelDOT Council on Transportation meeting, we raised the issue that the Rt24 needs to have its own study, not as a part of Five Points Working Group. The answer given was that the Coastal Corridors Study was in the inception stage and Rt 24 was going be included in that study.

Now, Rt 24 is not a part of this study. Why?

Marc Cote: Rt 24 is going to have many transportation improvement projects going and there was a presentation a couple of weeks ago. And much of Rt 24 is included in the Henlopen TID.

Q: During the Rt 24 Improvement presentation, it was said that those projects were not for capacity expansion, but just to take care of the current safety issues.

MC: Yes, we are planning to have a separate study just for Rt 24 soon.

Q: Do you have a timeline for the Rt 24 study?

MC: Maybe within a year.
