Mount Joy Road Closes For Over A Week – 03/06/2023 thru 03/15/2023

MILLSBORO, Del.- Mount Joy Road been closed between Cordrey Road and Route 24.

DelDOT says it is repaving this section of the road, and that this is part of a much bigger intersection improvement on Route 24.

"There's been a number of crashes and with the increased volume, it was needed to have these improvements," said DelDOT's C.R. McLeod.

DelDOT has been working on this intersection since last March. DelDOT says the project is aimed to be completed by the end of June and has an 18 million dollar price tag. Once completed, the intersection will have new turning lanes and other quality of life fixes.

The Department provided an alternate route for drivers:

"Southbound traffic should turn right onto Cordrey Road, then left onto Streets Road to SR 24.  Northbound traffic should take Streets Road and turn right onto Cordrey Road, back to Mount Joy Road."
