There's a new doghouse in Virginia Beach with left & right FYA's. I saw it back in late August but couldn't get a picture. It's still not on GSV as of yet. I believe it's at 20th St & Cypress Ave

TRAFFIC ALERT - New Castle County - Dusk Run Road/GBC Drive Opens Today

Neat. I was surprised to see work start on upgrading this from a private(?) access road to a public thru road over a year ago, this press release is the first I've seen anyone officially mention the project. I wonder what prompted the upgrades.

(For DE 10)  TRAFFIC ALERT - Kent County - Temporary Nighttime Traffic Stops at the SR 10 and US 13 Intersection

DelDOT's making some quick adjustments to the nearly-finished Five Points roundabout project after noticing issues with the right turn from the roundabout onto US 9 toward DE 1.

https://www.capegazette.com/article/changes-coming-five-points-area/283545

The Delaware Department of Transportation is fast-tracking a portion of the Route 9 widening project to solve a problem that arose after the new roundabout near Five Points opened in the spring.

Shortly after the new traffic pattern debuted on Memorial Day weekend, DelDOT civil engineer George Pierce said the department noticed traffic turning onto eastbound Route 9 was backing up into the roundabout.

[...]

What DelDOT noticed is that drivers were not using both through lanes that cross Route 1 and head east toward Lewes. Instead, some drivers waited until the far left lane was available before making a move.

To fix this problem, DelDOT is planning to widen the section of Route 9 between the new connector road and the Five Points intersection to allow drivers turning east onto Route 9 from the roundabout to have a dedicated through lane. When complete, there will be a through lane for drivers already on Route 9, a through lane for those turning onto Route 9 and a right-turn lane for drivers heading south on Route 1.

Pierce said the hope is to start the project in the coming days; however, if the weather turns cold, the work may not be completed until spring.

[...]

DelDOT also noticed some drivers are confused by the signage in the area of the roundabout. Instead of using the road numbers, Pierce said they'll soon add the road names to the signs.

Imagine if this had happened later in the day.

Imagine if this had happened later in the day.

I'm guessing the reporter has a slight issue with men.  Why else would the driver be consistently referred to as "the man" throughout the article?  Usually, a generic term is used.

I assume anyone without a NJ or DE E-ZPass will also pay $6 in April. They already pay the current cash rate, while those two agencies offer a 25 cent discount.

Further up DE 1, any update as to when shovels go in the ground for the grade-sep at Cove Neck Road?

And *further* up at the Rookery, is the interchange at DE 16 on schedule?

Is Delaware using mile based exit numbers on Route 141?

No, the exits are sequential.  Most of them are really close together is all.
