FREDERICA BYPASS

FREDERICA BYPASS - The
State Highway Department, at a
recent meeting, authorized more
Improvement for Route 113 by
placing the Frederica bypass dual
highway on the plans for immediate
construction.
This came about when the COM
missiOners learned that the project
ed dual highway from Bethany
Beach to the Maryland line would
be delayed for possibly more than
a year because of litigation over
right of way problems
1t was then decided to place the
Bethany Beach to Maryland line
project on a later program, after
some of the difficulty is overcome,
and place the Frederica bypass on
the present construction program as
part of the program for improv-
ing route 113.
The Frederica bypass will start
at the dual highway, south of Fred
erica, extend east of that town, and
rejoin the present route 113 just
south of Barrett'S Chapel
