The plan is to widen an almost 12-mile stretch on Route 404 from 50 to the Denton bypass. The road is a route many beach-bound travelers take to go to the Rehoboth and Fenwick Island resorts. Sometimes more than 23,000 drivers a day use this road during the summer season.
Now that more and more people are using the route, the two-lane road can't handle that much traffic safely. Officials said the extra lanes will be safer for cars and the shoulders are designed to handle pedestrian and bike traffic also. With just two lanes now, the traffic during the summer gets backed up on 404.

So the road will be useless while they're upgrading it!
12 miles??????? LOL! It better be the twelve miles the combines use to get from field to field!
All 12 miles will do is give everybody a feel good speed up just to wind up getting in line again, in a different order!
The State Police will love the new speed trap, though...
