Environmental Impact Statement: New 

Castle County, DE

AGENCIES: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) and the 

Delaware Department of Transportation 

(DelDOT).

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for a proposed highway 

improvement project in southern New 

Castle County, Delaware.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert F. Kleinburd, Realty and 

Environmental Program Manager,

Delaware Division, J. Allen Frear 

Federal Building, 300 South New Street, 

Room 2101, Dover, DE 19904; 

Telephone: (302) 734–2966; or Mr. Mark

(in DE only).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), in cooperation with the 

Delaware Department of Transportation 

(DelDOT), will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to consider the construction of a new 

roadway connection in southern New 

Castle County, Delaware. The proposed 

facility would connect two existing 

highways (U.S. Route 301 at the 

Maryland/Delaware border with 

Delaware Route 1, south of the C&D 

Canal), which pass through a rapidly 

developing area in southern New Castle 

County near the community of 

Middletown, Delaware. 

In 1990, DelDOT initiated the U.S. 

Route 301 Corridor Study that resulted 

in the preparation of a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). 

The DEIS evaluated the need for, 

location and design features of 

transportation alternatives to improve 

traffic service and operations on U.S. 

Route 301 and Delaware Route 896 

between the Delaware/Maryland line 

and I–95. The DEIS compared the 

environmental impacts of a variety of 

alternatives, focused on highway 

solutions primarily assessing alternative 

highway corridors in a relatively narrow 

study area encompassing the Route 301/

896 corridor. In December 1994, 

following completion of the DEIS, 

DelDOT announced that the corridor 

would be the subject of a Major 

Investment Study (MIS) that would 

assemble a package of land use 

measures, multi-modal transportation 

options, design standards for both 

transportation and land use activities, 

transportation demand management 

strategies and financing. 

The Greater Route 301 Major 

Investment Study was initiated in 1995 

and a Final Report was completed in 

2000. The Final MIS recommended that 

three alternatives be studied in a new 

EIS. It is the intent of the FHWA and 

DelDOT to pursue the MIS 

recommendations and prepare the 

appropriate environmental 

documentation.
