QOTW: How will traffic changes in Sussex County impact travel?

A major upgrade to the intersection of Del. 18/Del. 404 and U.S. 113 in Georgetown will close several businesses, including a Royal Farms, a Hardee’s and an Arby’s. It will also require the relocation of the Delaware Technical Community College baseball field. The Department of Transportation says the goal is to decrease traffic congestion and ease motorists’ travel through the area. But a representative of the Greater Georgetown Chamber of Commerce said, “It’s a double-edged sword, as there really is a need to improve traffic flow, but none of us wants to see any business close. Thankful that a couple are able to find locations in Georgetown but difficult to see others have to leave Georgetown completely.” How have you been affected by traffic in Sussex County? What do you think a solution would be to minimizing road headaches as development continues?
