This toll was designed to cover the loophole of drivers avoiding 95 tolls. But they won’t admit it. I took the country roads from Maryland to go to Middletown, and the design is anti-business. They could have easily updated old 301 for local traffic. Instead, these idiots force everyone to take unsafe country roads that divert you for miles in order to get to the shopping centers. In essence, they just slapped a wall of concrete in front of shoppers and charge them $4 for the privilege. I say boycott Middletown businesses. Let the businesses complain to their idiot bureaucrats.

I work in Crumpton and live in Middletown– it would cost me almost $3000.00 a year to get on the new 301 for less than 5 mins, $2000.00 if I had ez pass. People can’t afford this HIGH toll.

I have been in contact with DOT many many times, senators aides, govern aides. If they lower the middletown on and off ramp the traffic would stop going around the toll. Lowering to $1.00 each way would only be $10.00 a week for people like me who use 301 5 days a week. One of the first thing I told them was it was going to be on their head when there were accidents on these small roads. My parents live in Warwick and its hard for them to get out of their drive way.

Delaware DOT got greedy and its causing havoc on all those around this area. We must not give up this fight for Dot to do the right thing

If you meet one they all but run you off the road.
