The Federal Lands Highway Program in
Delaware.The U.S. Fish andWildlife
Service in conjunction with Eastern
Federal Lands is preparing a transportation
study for the Bombay Hook National
Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Consisting of
approximately 15,978 acres of actively managed
land, Bombay Hook NWR is
considered to be Delaware's most valuable
wildlife habitat.The refuge has 12
miles of gravel roads, trails, numerous
levees, culverts, spillways, and other
facilities that all require periodic
maintenance for reliable and safe use.
The purpose of this study is to identify
transportation enhancements that will
provide efficient mobility for visitors and
staff members to and within the refuge.
The transportation study will develop
conceptual alternatives for the transportation
network affecting the refuge, and will
develop short and long-range (20-year)
solutions.The study will evaluate the
roads, parking areas, trails, and walkways
within the refuge, as well as the entrances
and all highways/roads providing access
to the refuge.
