SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. – The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has started implementing speed limit reductions along Coastal Highway, stretching from Dewey Beach to the Delaware-Maryland state line. The first changes took effect on April 21 between Dewey Beach and Fred Hudson Road, with further adjustments scheduled for Tuesday. The speed limit reductions are in response to increasing safety concerns from local communities and the Coalition for a Safer North Bethany, spurred by a rise in pedestrian and cyclist-related crashes. The changes will vary in different locations, with speed limits being reduced in both directions.

Key adjustments include:

  • Southbound from Dewey Beach to Conquest Road: 55 mph reduced to 35 mph and 50 mph.
  • Northbound from near Conquest Road to Dewey Beach: 55 mph reduced to 50 mph, with 35 mph added at Keybox Road.
  • Southbound from Old Inlet Bait & Tackle to the south side of the Charles W. Cullen Memorial Bridge: 55 mph reduced to 50 mph.
  • Northbound from the Charles W. Cullen Memorial Bridge to Old Inlet Bait & Tackle: 55 mph reduced to 50 mph.
  • Southbound from the Charles W. Cullen Memorial Bridge to Collins Road: 55 mph reduced to 45 mph.
  • Northbound from Collins Road to Dune Road: 45 mph remains, with a 50 mph sign added in some areas.
  • Additional reductions occur in Bethany Beach, South Bethany, and areas approaching the Maryland state line.
