The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) invites interested persons to attend an informational meeting about plans to improve the truck weigh and inspection station along northbound and southbound US 13 in Delmar, Wicomico County. The project extends approximately 0.2 mile, from Mallard Drive to Holly Lane, and will include both renovation and construction of the weigh station and its surrounding lots.
The informational meeting will provide an overview of the proposed facility. Maps and displays will have project details and SHA representatives will be available to answer questions. You may arrive at any time during meeting hours and walk through the display area at your own pace. There will be no formal presentation.

Hopefully thy will learn how to operate an "OPEN" & "CLOSED sign better than they do now. Don't know how many times trucks merge overin traffic only to have the gate closed when the sign said OPEN! Then the truck has to try to get back on 13 with out any merge room creating a danger!!
I agree. As a truck driver,i'm surprised the state hasn't done this yet. They really could move a little north to accomidate even a bigger inspection and scale operation. You would be surprised the number of trucks out here that really shouldn't be onthe road. Makes me glad I work for a company that replaces their equipment every 5yrs. That being said,even a brand new truck could have issues. I want safe roads and safe drivers. I hope that hearing is positive for this. They really need to be updated.
The people in Chestnut Hill Community don't like a larger station invading their development. Probably noise issues. I heard about this accidentally at a yard sale in the community on Saturday.
Their are always different concerns, aren't there?
The commander of the transportation enforcement for the state police was hell bent on shutting them down and moving to portable scales. Pulling trucks on the road. Wonder what's happened.
This needs to be APPROVED the illegal trucks in Delaware is ridiculous.
