A Maryland company was awarded a large paving project in New Castle County.

Allan Meyers MD Inc., Fallston, was the low bidder at $9.3 million. The bid was the only one  below engineers’ estimates. 

Four other Delaware-based firms came in bids that were above estimates.  Of late, larger projects have  come in below estimates. Tight labor markets have led to concerns that project costs will rise. 

The filing from the Delaware Department of Transportation did not identify where the paving would take place along the highway that has become increasingly busy in New Castle County as growth continues in Middletown and other areas.

Route 1 also connects I-95 to Delaware beaches. This year,  a toll road for Route 301 in the Middletown area now connects to Route 1.
