Project Status
July 16, 2007
This project is part of transportation improvements required as part of an agreement between DelDOT and JP Morgan Chase, which is developing 153 acres on the east side of SR 7 north of US 40. SR 7 was widened to four lanes with bicycle lanes, a sidewalk, and landscaped medians. The project included major improvements at the US 40 intersection, including double left-turn lanes from US 40 onto SR 7 in both directions, double left-turn lanes from southbound SR 7 onto eastbound US 40, and double through lanes on SR 7. DelDOT's contractor began construction in 2004, and construction was completed in summer 2006.
