The purpose of the North Bethany Bicycle and Pedestrian Corridor Study is to evaluate alternatives to provide low-stress bicycle and pedestrian facilities along SR 1 between Bethany Beach and the Indian River Inlet Bridge, and to develop a conceptual design and cost estimate for a recommended alternative. These concepts will be developed based on the public feedback received to date and the results of the existing conditions assessment. The potential alternatives may include recommendations for traffic calming, median crossover closures/consolidations, shared use path(s), protected bike lanes, dedicated right-turn lanes, sidewalks, and crossing improvements. 

This study will build on the preliminary analysis conducted in spring 2023. As a result of the preliminary analysis, DelDOT will be installing three new pedestrian crossings with Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons at locations along SR 1. 

The final report is under development and will be posted here once it is available. In the meantime, please referf to the June '25 Workshop tab for an overview of the final recommendations. Final public survey results will be documented in the report.
