A proposed state pilot project that would have converted part of Ocean City’s bus lane into a dedicated bike lane is now on hold after town leaders raised concerns about how the change could affect traffic and public safety along Philadelphia Avenue.

Officials say around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, a tractor trailer went overboard and into the water on the west-side of the southbound span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Scooter collisions in Ocean City are up more than 50% compared with last year, according to town officials and first responders who say the trend mirrors a sharp increase in ridership along Coastal Highway and downtown.

The Delaware Department of Transportation will begin work Friday, Oct. 17, on the Rehoboth Avenue Bridge over the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal as part of a statewide bridge painting program
