Rehoboth Avenue repaving returns in April
March 21, 2025
DelDOT is coming back to finish what it started on Rehoboth Avenue. DelDOT will resume repaving Rehoboth Avenue next month, likely sometime during the second week of April, depending on weather conditions. 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.
With the return of warmer temperatures, the project is back on the schedule so that it can be completed before the start of the summer season.
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. The contractor, A-Del, will complete the roadwork overnight, working from 6 pm-6 am Sunday evening through Friday morning.
Lane closures and parking restrictions will be necessary in work zones; 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.
