(For DE 141) New Castle County - DelDOT Announces Completion of Route 141 Projects
But they didn't build the ramp from DE 141 NB to I-295 NB that was part of the original plan.
That quietly fell off the plans a while ago. It's possible they saw the potential disturbance to the marsh for a movement already served by US 13 / 40 as unnecessary and wanted to shuffle that money elsewhere.
Something similar happened at the SR 1 / 7 / 58 interchange along SR 58 a couple years back, the original plans for construction in the area called for...
- Channelizing the right turn lane off the SB SR 7 ramp onto WB SR 58, to prevent traffic from getting to the left turn lanes for Continental Blvd
- Separating the double left turn lanes for Continental Blvd from the thru WB SR 58 lanes with a median
- Adding a second right turn lane at the above ramp to allow traffic to get to the left for Continental Blvd
- Converting the right EB SR 58 thru lane into an option right turn lane, creating a triple right onto SB SR 1 / 7
The project came and went, and the only construction completed was resurfacing the road and rebuilding curbs and sidewalks.
