Delaware Bayshore Byway Master & Marketing Plan Kick-Off
September 16, 2025
DE DNREC has expanded the Action Trackchair®, an all-terrain wheelchair program, to five Delaware State parks, opening up accessibility.
As part of this week’s Earth Day celebration, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), the Delaware Tourism Office, Delaware Greenways, and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) are excited to announce the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has designated the Delaware Bayshore Byway as a National Scenic Byway.
Delaware Governor John Carney, DelDOT Secretary Nicole Majeski, DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin, Director of the Delaware Tourism Office Liz Keller and representatives from Delaware Greenways and tourism groups celebrated the designation with a gathering today to unveil a special sign recognizing the Byway as a National Scenic Byway at the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve’s St. Jones Reserve in Dover.
"Today we celebrate a Delaware Treasure becoming a National Treasure. The Delaware Bayshore Byway has been designated a National Byway! What started as a Scenic Route 9 project based on fifty miles of a picturesque coastal road has grown into a National Scenic Byway showcasing over 100 miles of the Delaware coastline, many coastal communities and natural attractions. We are excited about the future opportunities this designation will catalyze."
