DRBA completes I-295 Reconstruction Project

New Castle, Delaware— The Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) has completed the last phase of the I-295 Southbound Reconstruction project west of the Delaware Memorial Bridge toll plaza.

The three-year project, which began in February 2016, was completed at a cost of $35.9 million. This final phase of work covered both DRBA and Delaware Department of Transportation portions of I-295 Southbound. For ease of administration, the DRBA handled the full length of the interstate highway work. DelDOT is reimbursing the Authority $6.5 million related to its section of the work.

"Like our customers, we’re happy that the Jersey barriers and construction barrels are gone from the interchange and the I-295 Southbound Reconstruction project has concluded," said Brent VanLith, Senior Project Engineer for the DRBA.
