The Lewes-to-Georgetown Trail will be closed from Cool Spring Road to Savannah Road from 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 20, until 5 p.m., Thursday, July 21. The rain dates are from 7 p.m., Thursday, July 21, to 5 p.m., Friday, July 22, for the application of herbicides for weed and vegetation control.
The Delaware Department of Transportation and its contractor only apply herbicides that are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for vegetation-control purposes. The EPA has determined through its testing and review process that when these herbicides are applied according to the label instructions, their application "poses no unreasonable risks to human health, wildlife, or the environment."
