US113 North/South Study

In June 2008, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) agreed with DelDOT's recommendation to divide the US 113 North/South Study into four (4) geographic areas rather than three (3). Since the start of the project, the three geographic areas had been the Milford Area, the Ellendale Area and the Georgetown South Area.

Ellendale Environmental Assessment approved by the Federal Highway Administration with a Finding of
No Significant Impact.

The current status of activities in each of the four areas is summarized below: Recently, the Georgetown South Area was divided into the Georgetown Area and the Millsboro-South Area. This decision allows DelDOT to complete the necessary environmental documentation in a more efficient and timely manner. Environmental studies are required by FHWA as part of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). NEPA ensures that proper study of potential human, cultural, and natural environmental impacts is conducted for each alternative under consideration. The studies describe the impact of the proposed US 113 alternatives, as well as ways to minimize and mitigate negative environmental impacts.
