TRAFFIC ALERT - Route 54 Traffic Pattern
Switch Will Occur on February 8
Fenwick Island -- The
Department of Transportation (DelDOT)
announces that as work continues on the
Route 54 Improvement Project, a traffic
pattern switch will occur on Wednesday,
February 8. This switch will allow for work
to begin to widen the northern portion
(westbound side) of the road.
The switch will involve work to place all
temporary pavement markings to shift traffic
to the southern edge of Route 54 (riding on
the newly widened portion) and should take
about a week to complete.
This traffic switch moves the project to its
third phase. Work that will be completed
during this phase includes the removal of
the existing shoulder, placement of
underdrain, placement of electrical conduit,
placement of new curb and sidewalk, and
placement of a new pavement section to widen
the existing road. Intermittent lane
closures will occur during this next phase,
but it is anticipated that most work will be
performed on the shoulder, which will allow
two lanes of traffic to be maintained.
