20.02.27 WELCOME! On behalf of he (), we welcome you o his Public Workshop for he grade separaed inersecion a US 113 and SR /SR in Georgeown. This projec is par of he US 113 Corridor Improvemen Plan, which includes proposed ransporaion improvemens along abou 30 miles of US 113 from Ellendale o he Delaware/Maryland sae line. The limis of his projec include he inersecion a US 113 and SR /SR and exend approximaely 1,000 fee o he norh and souh of he inersecion. Thank you for sharing your valuable ime and insighs. Jennifer Cohan Secreary PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP The purpose of his workshop is o obain inpu from you, he public, on he concep design alernaives for he proposed grade separaion. The projec eam is available o answer quesions and provide informaion on he projec. Commens will be acceped hrough March 30, 20. Informaion abou he projec and he abiliy o provide commens and suggesions on he projecs can be obained from he projecs websies a: hps://deldo.gov/informaion/projecs/us113-sr-sr-gsi/ US 113 AT SR / SR
PROJECT PURPOSE & NEED 20.02.27 The purpose of he projec is o preserve mobiliy for local residens and businesses while providing roadway improvemens along US 113 ha would reduce congesion, improved safey, and accommodae anicipaed growh in local and seasonal raffic. Sussex Couny coninues o grow a a high rae. New developmen is rapidly replacing farm fields, and i is expeced o increase he Couny s populaion and employmen by approximaely 50 percen over he nex 20 years. Coninued developmen in he sudy area would require addiional access poins and raffic signals along US 113, resuling in greaer conflics, reduced safey, and increased raveler delays. This projec is needed due o he exraordinary growh along he US 113 corridor, and is burden on he local and regional ransporaion nework.

20.02.27 LOREM IPSUM PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCHEDULE The inersecion a US 113 and SR /SR was deermined o be a prioriy ransporaion improvemen due o he exising raffic congesion and repored crash raes. During summer peak periods, he inersecion operaes a Level of Service (LOS) E wih an average delay of 78 seconds per vehicle. The hreshold for LOS F is 80 seconds. By 2040, wihou any improvemens, he average delay during summer peak periods will be over 260 seconds and vehicle queues will exend well beyond he exising capaciy. Beween February 2015 and February 20, a oal of 128 crashes were repored a he inersecion, which is he highes rae among inersecions in he Georgeown Area. Among he repored crashes here were 105 (82%) rear end crashes and 43 (34%) were easbound righ-urn, rear end crashes. Tweny-wo (17%) of he repored crashes involved an injury and 36 (28%) crashes were repored during he summer. As new developmen coninues and raffic increases along he US 113 corridor, he raffic congesion ha currenly occurs only during he summer monhs will frequenly occur during non-summer weekday peak periods. 8 1908 62 61 530 51 74 396 766 1050 57 2091 US 113 @ SR / - 2040 Traffic PROJECT SCHEDULE Design Righ-of-Way Acquisiion Sar Consrucion 20-2020 2020-2023 2023 US 113 AT SR / SR
