Public Info Meeting for U.S. 40 RR Crossing Replacement – July 9

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) in conjunction with Norfolk Southern Railway invites the public to attend an Informational Meeting to discuss the replacement of the existing railroad crossing on U.S. Route 40/Pulaski Highway, just east of Route 72 in Bear.  The Public Informational Meeting will be held from 4 PM until 7 PM on Tuesday, July 9 at the Oberle Elementary School, 500 Caledonia Way in Bear, Delaware.  Interested persons are invited to attend to discuss the project and detour routes.

Safety improvements are required to provide a smooth crossing, correct drainage issues, and add sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. To complete this work, there will be a full closure of U.S. 40 from Friday evening, August 9, to Monday morning, August 26; spanning two work weeks and three weekends. All work is dependent on weather conditions and other factors. All local businesses will remain open during the road closure but regional and local detours will be in effect. These detours and other measures to mitigate traffic will be presented at the meeting.

Comments will be received during the meeting or can be mailed to DelDOT Public Relations, P.O. Box 778, Dover, DE  19903-0778 or sent via email to dotpr@state.de.us

This location is accessible to persons having disabilities. Any person having special needs or requiring special aid, such as an interpreter for the hearing impaired, is requested to contact DelDOT by phone or mail one week in advance.

For further information, please contact the Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Public Relations at (302) 760-2080 or 1-800-652-5600 or write to the above address.
