The current trail follows a section of the old Penn Central railroad to connect Lewes to West Rehoboth. The extension will include a 10-foot wide asphalt trail in parts, as well as a two-way bicycle lane to Grove Park, which is just a few blocks from the beach itself.

The department expects work to be completed by Memorial Day.
