CORRIDOR PRESERVATION IN DELAWARE

In 1990, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration, began implementation of a project to protect and improve capacity on a 64 kilometer length of State Road 1 (SR-1), between Dover and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This roadway passes through mostly rural countryside, however, there are several pockets of residential and commercial development. SR-1 is the main access to the Delaware beaches from the North, and a new controlled access roadway is in various stages of completion between Wilmington and Dover. This paper relates the actions that DelDOT and the two County governments have taken to control existing and proposed expanded access adjacent to Sr-1 over the past several years. The paper also describes a concurrent effort to purchase property rights that will reduce development pressures.
