LEWES, Del. \u2014 Cyclists, walkers, and other users of the Georgetown\/Lewes Rail Trail Shared Use Path should plan for a temporary route change beginning Monday, July 20.<\/p>

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announced that the trail will be shifted onto the newly paved New Road, which runs beneath the Nassau Bridge. The detour is necessary to allow crews to complete construction of the Shared Use Path in its final layout between Nassau Road and Janice Road.<\/p>

The temporary reroute is expected to remain in place through August 14, though that timeline is subject to weather conditions.<\/p>

Anyone traveling through the area is asked to follow the posted detour signs and exercise caution while passing through the active construction zone.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
