The project is located in Kent County. A substantial part of the project is within the town of Smyrna. The project limits are from the intersection of Sunnyside Road to the intersection of Wheatleys Pond Road.  The project includes improvements to both Sunnyside and Wheatleys Pond roads at the intersections.

Carter Road is narrow with no shoulders and minimal pedestrian facilities. The project is needed to improve vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle travel along the roadway.

The project consists of reconstruction of Carter Road within the project limits. Improvements will include the addition of 5 foot shoulders and curbing along the entire length of roadway, with sidewalks provided on one or both sides. A piped drainage system with stormwater management facilities will be provided.  The improvements will necessitate relocation of utility poles within the project limits.

Also included in the project will be street lighting along the entire length of the road and a new signal at the Sunnyside Road intersection.

DelDOT is currently in the process of acquiring the ROW needed for the project. Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2011 and should take approximately one year to complete.
