Georgetown Area

Alternatives/Maps (This site last updated October 12, 2011)

A series of On-alignment, East and West Bypass build alternatives and the No-build Alternative were evaluated as part of the Georgetown Area US 113 study. Of these alternatives the Refined On-alignment Alternative is the Recommended Preferred Alternative. The other alternatives were not carried forward because they did not meet the project purpose and need, lacked public support, were not consistent with local plans, or they would result in substantial environmental impacts. The No-build Alternative provided a baseline condition with which to compare the other evaluated alternatives.

An Environmental Assessment is being prepared for the Georgetown Area and will be published during the summer of 2010. The Environmental Assessment will complete the environmental analysis of the Refined On-alignment Recommended Preferred Alternative announced by DelDOT in June 2007. The Refined On-alignment Alternative would:

• Widen US 113 to provide an additional lane northbound and southbound
• Grade separate interchanges at eight locations
• Eliminate all traffic signals and unsignalized crossovers along US 113
• Widen existing shoulders to 15 feet to maintain right-in/right-out turns for existing access and consolidate access points where possible
