Friends and neighbors,

I’m excited to tell you that work is finally underway on a long-awaited pedestrian safety project on Lorewood Grove Road just south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.

Work officially began this week on a new pathway that will run across Lorewood Grove Road to connect the communities of Canal View at Crosslands and Crossland at the Canal.

Slated for completion by the end of January, this project will include a crosswalk and the construction of a median island with a flashing beacon that will alert motorists of pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road.

Depending on weather conditions, crews will be working weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weeknights from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. to get this project finished. Motorists should use caution and expect minor delays in the area.

For more information, tune to WTMC 1380 AM, visit deldot.gov or download the DelDOT app.

Thank you for your patience during the construction and please drive safely!

As always, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, community concerns, or just to say hi. I can be reached by email at nicole.poore@delaware.gov, on Facebook, or by calling my Senate office at (302) 744-4164.

Sincerely,

Nicole Poore
Senator, District 12
