Project Status

March 27, 2008

The Old Porter Road project includes the construction of bike lanes on both sides of Old Porter Road and the realignment of the Old Porter Road and SR 71 intersection. Concept design was completed in 2005.

Meridian Crossing II, a proposed residential development along Old Porter Road, has been required by DelDOT and New Castle County to fund the reconstruction of the sharp horizontal curve east of Lauren Farms. This curve has been identified as a location where safety improvements are needed. Final design is complete for the curve reconstruction and right-of-way acquisition is in progress.
