The newly opened lane runs under the Nassau Bridge, connecting the Janice Road roundabout to Nassau Road. Drivers say the new connection is a welcome change after more than a year of construction.

Runners, hikers, cyclists and dogs on the Lewes-Georgetown trail are being rerouted as DelDOT's multi-million dollar and multi-year road improvement progresses. 

DelDOT will close Nassau Road at Route 1 beginning Sept. 22. This is part of ongoing work on the Route 1 Minos Conaway Grade Separated Intersection project. The closure is expected to remain in effect through the end of October, weather permitting.

The Delaware Department of Transportation is going to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Route 1, Minos Conaway Intersection Project on Friday.
