EXPEDITION...
Dear John Sheridan,
Below please see a news alert for travel on Rt. 26 as this MAY affect
your
travel plans: I am cutting and
pasting the info. below.
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has received a request
from
Delmarva Power to enact lane closures on Route 26 for the expansion
project:
- Monday to Thursday: 5 a.m. to normal end of work day.
- Friday to Sunday: 5 a.m. to noon.
Lane closures were already scheduled to continue until June 30.
PLEASE keep this in mind as you travel toward Fenwick. Consider an
alternative
route (Rt. 54/20 or Rt. 1) and avoid Rt. 26 at all costs. This will
cause the
alternative routes to be busier as well so pack your patience and
maybe leave
home a bit earlier. Remember to
call our office if you find you are going to be
later than 4:30 on the Saturday of your check in. Regards, JK
Dear John Sheridan,
Fenwick Greetings!
We have just been made aware that the beach replenishment work for the
DE
beaches may begin as early as Wednesday of this week (7/17/13). That means at
any time we should all expect to see the large machinery begin to
ascend on to
our beaches.
We thought it best to advise everyone who has their vacation planned
for the
upcoming weeks to be prepared.
We do not know any schedule as to where the
dredge will be at any specific time but I will provide for you phone
numbers
below where you could call to find out.
It is our understanding that every dune crossing will be open but
people will be
funneled to either the North or South depending on where the work
happens to be
going on on any particular day.
Although this may be a slight imposition for
some who plan on visiting our area it has been determined that our
beaches need
to be shored up to protect them from major storm damage. There will be
no more
than 2 blocks closed at any time and the work should progress quickly.
Please try to refrain from calling our office with specific questions
because we
simply have no clue as to the schedule as to where the work will be
done at any
specific time. We are learning this at the same time as you and are
therefore
very much in the dark otherwise.
Please do not reply to this note and expect us
to receive your reply.
Below are phone numbers where you can call for more info. or to voice
your
concerns:
Bethany/Fenwick Chamber of commerce: 302.539.2100
