Rehoboth Beach, Del. – Construction along Munchy Branch Road has drawn frustration from residents who say the ongoing project is creating dangerous traffic conditions due to limited signage and single-lane closures. The work, which began about a month ago, includes the installation of new sidewalks and drainage systems. While the improvements aim to enhance long-term infrastructure, residents say the short-term impact has been chaotic.
Drivers have reported confusion over lane directions and entrance changes, with several near-collisions reported in the area. Local concerns center around what residents describe as minimal traffic signage and a lack of flaggers to guide motorists. Some say the setup puts both drivers and construction workers at risk. The Delaware Department of Transportation said it is aware of the concerns and has brought the issues to the attention of the contractor overseeing the work. Officials say they are working to resolve problems related to traffic control as soon as possible. The construction is scheduled for completion in May, but residents are urging for immediate safety improvements to avoid further confusion or potential accidents.
