Sussex County - DelDOT Announces Grand Opening of the North Millsboro Bypass
DelDOT Announces Grand Opening of the North Millsboro Bypass
Millsboro - ; The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) was joined by Governor Matt Meyer, Lieutenant Governor Kyle Evans Gay, Dave Wilson for Delaware State Senate, Senator Brian Pettyjohn, Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall, State Representative Valerie Jones Giltner, State Rep. Rich Collins, Mayor McKee, and other distinguished guests on Monday, September 22, 2025, for the North Millsboro Bypass Ribbon Cutting. The ceremonial ribbon cutting was held in advance of the roadway opening later this week.
This project, designed to improve traffic flow, safety, and connectivity in the area, marks a significant milestone for Sussex County residents and businesses.
"The North Millsboro Bypass is an investment in the safety, convenience, and economic future of Sussex County," said Governor Matt Meyer. "Decades in the making, this project will ease congestion, improve safety, and make life better for families and commuters. We're proud to finally bring it across the finish line."
"As someone who lives in this community, I know firsthand that this bypass is an important first step in our plan for improving daily travel for area residents. We are thrilled to provide motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians with a new multi-modal connection that will open later this week," said Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Shanté Hastings.
The $140 million North Millsboro Bypass Project consists of a two-lane connector road that begins at Route 24 near Mountaire Farms and extends westward to connect with Route 113 north of Millsboro. The project includes the construction of four bridges and an overpass, notably one that spans Millsboro Pond. A key feature of the bypass is a grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Route 113 and Route 20, designed to alleviate congestion and enhance safety in the area.
DelDOT would also like to recognize its partners who helped make this project possible: R.E. Pierson, WRA, AECOM, and Torre Engineering.
