DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware transportation officials are proposing postponing $46 million in projects.

The postponements were contained in a capital budget proposal presented to state lawmakers on Monday. The agency is working to reduce a $1.08 billion in debt.

The postponed projects include 15 safety-driven improvements statewide. Construction will be delayed a few months to a few years, depending on funding. Projects being delayed include improvements to Churchmans Road from Christiana Hospital to the Route 1 interchange.
