DelDOT says summer data still being analyzed after Millsboro bypass opened
Summary
DelDOT told the DELTA committee it is "still crunching through" summer traffic data from the new bypass and will provide a fuller truck‑traffic analysis after more weeks of observation. The town wants DelDOT to review a draft resolution and updated crash counts to support intersection fixes.
Peter, a DelDOT representative, told the DELTA committee the department is continuing to analyze traffic patterns after the bypass opening and that more summer data are needed before issuing a definitive report. "So we're still, crunching through that data," he said. The chair asked whether DelDOT has noted any changes in truck routing; Peter said preliminary counts were shared previously and that DelDOT expects to provide a clearer overview after additional summer sampling.
Committee members asked DelDOT to consider queuing effects and to compare current patterns to historical counts. The committee agreed to provide a draft resolution and updated crash data for DelDOT to incorporate into its analysis so the department can quickly confirm whether the town’s submission contains the information needed for next steps.
