REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – The Rehoboth Beach Public Library is preparing for a phased renovation that will update its downtown facility while keeping services available to the more than 45,000 visitors who use the building each year. In a post made on the City of Rehoboth Beach’s official Facebook page, officials outlined the scope of the project and its impact on pedestrian access.
City officials report that construction is expected to continue through late 2026 or early 2027 and will include essential repairs, modern upgrades, and expanded community meeting spaces. The library plans to remain open throughout the renovation with occasional temporary closures as work progresses.
The City says the sidewalk in front of the library will be affected for much of the project.
Portions of the sidewalk will close intermittently beginning this week and will remain subject to limited access until near the end of construction. Officials note that some disruptions to foot traffic are expected as crews move through different phases of the renovation.
According to the Facebook post, the City is coordinating with the Rehoboth Beach Public Library and the Whiting Turner Contracting Company to maintain safe and accessible pedestrian routes around the project site. Adjustments to pathways will be made as needed to ensure visitors can reach the facility and move through the area safely.
Further updates will be provided by the City of Rehoboth Beach as the renovation progresses.
