Millsboro, Del. – Starting Monday, June 16, Hollyville Road will close between Washington Street Extension and State Route 24, altering travel through mid-August, weather permitting. This closure supports the North Millsboro Bypass project, a major effort to streamline traffic in Sussex County. Workers will realign Hollyville Road to link with the new bypass, promising less congestion for drivers. Once the bypass opens, Hollyville Road will welcome traffic on its updated path.
Detours will guide drivers during the closure. Southbound travelers on Hollyville Road must turn right onto Mount Joy Road, then left onto State Route 30, known as Gravel Hill Road, to reach State Route 24, or John J. Williams Highway. Drivers on State Route 24 aiming for Hollyville Road will head north on State Route 30, then turn right onto Mount Joy Road to reconnect. These routes may add a few minutes, but they keep the journey smooth.
The North Millsboro Bypass will transform travel in the region, cutting delays and boosting safety. Commuters and local businesses should budget extra time during this period. For more on the project, visit the Delaware Department of Transportation’s website. Picture smoother roads ahead, connecting Millsboro’s communities with ease, as this work paves the way for a brighter future.
