Abstract:Delaware is rich in scenic, historic and cultural resources. The first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, Delaware's landscapes and communities tell stories from battles between warring colonial powers, to the rise of a mercantile economy among the mills of the Brandywine River, to the continuing importance of agriculture to the state, to the evolution of American recreational pastimes along the state's beckoning beaches. These diverse resources and their stories are accessible to travelers and residents along road corridors that deserve special consideration of their unique features and special role in the highway system. To recognize Delaware's special road corridors, the General Assembly in 2000 created a Scenic and Historic Highway Program (17 Del.C. c. 1 ยง101). This program guide provides an understanding of the vision for Delaware's Byway Program, and an overview of the designation process, including how you can nominate a roadway. It also provides information on identifying intrinsic qualities (scenic, historic, natural, cultural, recreational, and archeological), preparing corridor plans and seeking sources of support in implementing these plans.
