East camden bypass

Federal Grant Award Summary: East Camden Bypass Project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $949,559.87 to the Delaware Department of Transportation on June 23, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to develop the East Camden Bypass project in Delaware. This formula grant funds the design and construction of a new roadway alignment that connects the proposed West Camden Bypass at the US Route 13 intersection and extends northeast to State Route 10, where a new roundabout will be constructed to provide coordinated access for the new alignment, existing SR 10, and Rising Sun Road. The project continues northeast to connect with the existing US 13 and Old North Road intersection.

The funded project delivers comprehensive transportation infrastructure improvements, including connections to the local roadway network, compliance with local road design standards, and multimodal accommodations for various transportation modes. As a state-administered formula grant under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this project was selected by the Delaware Department of Transportation based on state transportation priorities and will be subject to FHWA oversight and compliance with applicable environmental and design requirements under the Highway Planning and Construction program.

Project description

This project provides a connection/extension of the proposed west camden bypass at the intersection with US13, IT will then head northeast on a new alignment to a proposed roundabout on SR10. This proposed roundabout will provide access for the new roadway alignment, existing SR10 and existing rising sun road. The new alignment will then continue northeast to the existing intersection of US13 & old north road. The new alignment will also provide connections to the local roadway network within the project limits, will meet local road design standards and will provide multi-modal accommodations.
