Governor Matt Meyer, DelDOT Cabinet Secretary Shant茅 Hastings, along with project engineers, community relations staff, and local officials attended the Groundbreaking ceremony for the project back on June 20th.聽This project provides a grade separated intersection to separate through movements along SR 1 and turning movements to and from Minos Conaway Road, Nassau Road and Old Mill Road. A shared use path would also be constructed to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.
