Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton Connector Study
Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton Connector Study
Project Description
DelDOT is partnering with local government and community partners in Sussex County to study the alignment for a walking and biking pathway to connect Milton to the Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail. The study will consider different routes and design alternatives to construct a shared-use pathway from the Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail to Milton and assess the feasibility, environmental constraints, and costs associated with each alternative. The study will engage local partners and the community to identify opportunities to embrace the unique landscape and culture of the region in the design and branding of this pathway - creating an enduring transportation, recreation, and environmental asset rooted in the natural beauty and character of Sussex County.
Our team will post documents, upcoming events, project updates, and other news related to the study to this webpage.
This study was funded in partnership with Sussex Cyclists, Sussex County Land Trust, Dogfish Head Brewery, Representative Alonna Berry, Senator Russ Huxtable, DelDOT, and the Federal Highway Administration.
Project Background and Survey
Milton Connector Trail Public Survey
The Milton Connector Trail is a proposed shared-use path connecting the Georgetown to Lewes Rail Trail (at Hudson Park) to the Town of Milton and the Milton Rail Trail at Chestnut Street. We are exploring potential trail alignments, features, branding, and other opportunities to make the connection useful and welcoming for the community. Potential trail alignments under consideration range from approximately 5 to 7 miles.
This short survey should take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help inform the planning and design of the Milton Connector Trail.
