The Delaware Department of Transportation announced that a section of the Lewes-to-Georgetown Trail from Cool Spring Road to Savannah Road will be closed from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 7, pending weather.
The closure will allow required herbicide application for vegetation control. The rain date is Friday, Oct. 8, same times.
DelDOT and its hired 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.
