DE: US 9 TRUCK (Georgetown) Realignment

[Markkos1992]

The US 9 TRUCK Route realignment in Georgetown apparently opened in September, and I just now found out about it.

I think I am going to field check this on December 15th.  I believe I need to clarify signage (most specifically for DE 404 TRUCK because I have debated on whether that should even be in the HB) before implementing this.

September 2023 streetview shows some construction at a state where there's no way it's done yet. But that's the realignment of Park Ave to make room for the runway 4/22 extension at GED. Realignment off of South Bedford and onto Arrow Safety logically goes along with this but also needn't necessarily wait since Arrow Safety already exists.

Personally I'd do nothing yet and just make the whole change at once when the realignment of Park opens, since from a full-project perspective this is clearly still a work in progress.

I agree on a no-build for now since I relooked at the Project Website and see that the Park Ave Realignment is part of this.

I may forego the field check then because I was not really into forcing myself onto the Eastern Shore just for that.

The Project Website (https://deldot.gov/projects/index.shtml?dc=details&projectNumber=T202004601) is currently stating completion is between July and September 2024.

EDIT (5-13-2024):  In the meantime, the new US 9 TRUCK Alignment in Georgetown is scheduled to open next month.

I will have a closure point at the east end of the realignment.  (https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2021/09/08/construction-georgetowns-park-ave-relocation-begin-next-year/5753846001/)

The western portion of the existing Park Avenue will become a cul-de-sac, ending at the railroad tracks on the western side of the airport, according to Lawson. Another cul-de-sac will be constructed on the other side of the tracks, for use until construction is complete, at which point that portion of the road will be abandoned and eventually removed.
