LEWES, Del. — A long-awaited safety upgrade at the Route 1 and Minos Conaway intersection is set to begin as Delaware Department of Transportation holds a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, June 20. The project focuses on improving traffic flow and reducing accidents at this busy spot, which has been the scene of multiple crashes, including one that severely injured two children. In addition to safety improvements for drivers, the plan includes a new shared-use path designed for pedestrians and cyclists, making the area more accessible for all. Governor Matt Meyer will join DelDOT’s Cabinet Secretary Shanté Hastings, engineers, and local leaders at the ceremony. The event will take place at 10 a.m. on a vacant lot opposite 32191 Nassau Road in Lewes.
