The public is being strongly encouraged to share their opinions on the proposed Route 113 bypass that could someday cut a new 16.5-mile highway through Sussex County. Officials with the Delaware Department of Transportation visited the Frankford Town Council on Sept. 9 — one in a series of meetings to inform people of the public hearings.
People are responding to the recently published Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which studies the pros and cons of five options for a limited-access highway.
The federal government would pay for 80 percent of the major highway project, but they require DelDOT to complete a DEIS, public hearing and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) before they’ll consider anything.

Are there maps of the proposed routes? Id like to see them before buying property up that way!!!
After 40 years of living in Maryland, I have learned that "bypass" means a new road to provide development access to land previously not considered worthy of developing. A bypass never really bypasses anything but gives the brief appearance of a "shortcut'. None of this is intended to preserve a rural life style or way of life.
