The DelDOT will be closing the Lewes to Georgetown Trail between Cool Spring and Savannah Roads on Thursday, April 16 for Herbicide Application for vegetation control.  The closure will begin at midnight and end at 8am Thursday – pending weather.  

The Delaware Department of Transportation and its hired contractor only apply herbicides that are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for vegetation control purposes. The EPA has determined through its testing and review process that when these herbicides are applied according to the label instructions, their application “poses no unreasonable risks to human health, wildlife, or the environment.
