GEORGETOWN, Del. — Motorists traveling through Georgetown in Sussex County will need to find alternate routes beginning next week due to a full road closure on Gravel Hill Road.
Delmarva Central Railroad crews are scheduled to begin resurfacing and general maintenance work at their railroad crossing on Gravel Hill Road, located between Lewes Georgetown Highway (SR 9) and Bennum Switch Road. Work is set to begin at 7:00 a.m. on Friday, July 17, 2026.
The project will require Gravel Hill Road (SR 30) to be completely closed at the railroad crossing for the duration of the work. The closure is expected to remain in effect through Friday, July 24, 2026.
Message signs will be placed along the roadway ahead of the closure to alert drivers and give them time to plan alternate routes before the work begins.
