Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton Connector Study

Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton Connector Study

Project Description

DelDOT is partnering with local government and community partners in Sussex County to study the alignment for a walking and biking pathway to connect Milton to the Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail. The study will consider different routes and design alternatives to construct a shared-use pathway from the Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton and assess the feasibility, environmental constraints, and costs associated with each alternative. The study will engage local partners and the community to identify opportunities to embrace the unique landscape and culture of the region in the design and branding of this pathway - creating an enduring transportation, recreation, and environmental asset rooted in the natural beauty and character of Sussex County.

Our team will post documents, upcoming events, project updates, and other news related to the study to this webpage. 

This study was funded in partnership with Sussex Cyclists, Sussex County Land Trust, Dogfish Head Brewery, Representative Alonna Berry, Senator Russ Huxtable, DelDOT, and The Federal Highway Administration.
