Traffic planners at the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) decided to replace cloverleaves with flyovers and redesigned bridges. DelDOT believes the changes will allow for smoother traffic flow for the nearby cities of Newark, home to the University of Delaware, and Glasgow.
The interstate is an important highway that carries traffic north to Wilmington, the state’s largest city, and on to Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The average daily traffic on I-95 is approximately 130,000 with 50,000 vehicles using SR 896 daily. see DELDOT page 30

A deepfake can result in reputational concerns over safety, a lack of trust for your company or call into question the integrity of a project. A deepfake creator see VIDEOS page 32
