TRAFFIC ALERT

Inbound Rehoboth Avenue Extended Closed For Paving Wednesday, June 24

Rain Date to be Thursday, June 25

Rehoboth Beach -- The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that in order to complete paving work at the Church Street intersection it will detour the inbound lane of Route 1A/Rehoboth Avenue Extended on Wednesday, June 24. The outbound lane of Rehoboth Avenue Extended will be open at all times and is not impacted by the work.

Consequently, the two turn lanes from Route 1 accessing Rehoboth Avenue Extended will be closed, and motorists will need to use the Route 1B/State Road exit to enter Rehoboth. This closure allows for the completion of paving work for Rehoboth Avenue Extended from Route 1 to the Lewes & Rehoboth Canal drawbridge. Paving work will occur between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. This work is weather dependent, and if inclement weather occurs, the work will be done on Thursday June 25.

Access to businesses in the area of the closure will be maintained during the work, but motorists must access them from Route 1B/State Road and then head north on Rehoboth Avenue Extended.

Message boards have been placed in the area to alert motorists. The detour directs motorists to stay in the right hand lane on Route 1 south, and continue straight going over the Lewes & Rehoboth Canal Bridge, turning right onto Route 1B, and follow signs along State Road into Rehoboth.

This work is being done as a part of the Church Street Improvement Project.
