Safer Streets for Lewes Walkers and Bikers

Delaware’s DOT is tackling safety for walkers and bikers on Savannah Road in Lewes, focusing on a key stretch near American Legion Road and Massachusetts Avenue — a vital link between downtown and the beach. Part of a larger plan to connect with the Junction & Breakwater Trail, this 0.3-mile zone is getting serious upgrades: flashing crosswalk lights, pedestrian push buttons, and sharrows to mark shared lanes. Inspired by the Lewes Bike Plan, the project aims to make every trip — whether to shop or stroll the shore — safer for all ages. Community input is crucial — residents and visitors have until June 30 to share ideas. Starting June 18, DelDOT will observe traffic patterns to inform final designs, ensuring Lewes becomes a more connected, secure place to move around.
