The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has awarded DelDOT $10.4 million to accelerate work on transportation projects in Delaware.

Governor Jack Markell said, "With support from the bipartisan investment approved by the General Assembly last year, we are implementing a far-reaching transportation improvement plan. These new funds from the FHWA will further speed up these improvements to the safety of our roads and bridges while creating the jobs and long-term economic development that come from a more efficient system."

Secretary Cohan said, "We are thrilled to be awarded our full request from FHWA, because these funds can go to work almost immediately to improve safety and relieve traffic congestion."

This funding will allow DelDOT to advertise the first three projects below for immediate bidding. DelDOT's staff will begin designing U.S. Route 113 at SR 16 Grade Separated Intersection and will continue to design the project for the rehabilitation of I-95 from I-495 to north of Brandywine River.
