SR1 North of Milford to the Delaware/Maryland State Line

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is undertaking a planning study to consider improvements for the US113 Corridor from the vicinity of SR1 north of Milford to the Delaware/Maryland state line. The US113 North/South Study is the next step in the overall planning process for this corridor. This effort is a follow-up to a previously completed feasibility study (Sussex County North-South Feasibility Study  in July 2001. The exact nature and scope of potential projects is not yet known. The need for and type of improvements at specific locations along the corridor will be identified as we move forward with the project development process.

The Goals, Objectives and Study Areas for the US 113 North/South Study are outlined below:

The Goals of the US 113 Study are:
