Rehoboth Avenue Repaving

DelDOT is coming back in April 2025 to finish what it started on Rehoboth Avenue in the fall. Paving was completed in the fall from the bandstand to 2nd Street before work was halted in mid-December due to the early arrival of cold temperatures, which can impact the quality of paving.

Roadwork is scheduled to resume beginning the evening of Sunday, April 6. The contractor, A-Del, will complete the project overnight, working from 6 pm-6 am Sunday evening through Friday morning.

Work, which includes milling and paving between 2nd Street and the traffic circle, is expected to take about a month to complete. In addition, permanent striping will be installed east of 2nd Street, with minimal traffic impacts.

• Milling will be completed first. The contractor will begin working from the traffic circle to 2nd Street in left-hand lanes on both sides of the roadway, and then will mill the right lanes and parking areas working from 2nd Street, and finally the traffic circle itself.
• When milling is complete, the roadway will be paved.
• Finally, striping will be installed.

Lane closures and parking restrictions will be necessary in work zones; one lane in each direction will remain open. Flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control. Where possible, the city will work with the contractor to ensure that parking on one side of the street remains open. For example, if storefront parking is closed in an area, median parking will remain open, if available.

The paving project is expected to be completed by Friday, May 16.
