Widening Route 26 near Millville is running behind schedule because of the recent bad weather.
The $35 million project began in early January and is expected to be completed within the next 2 and a half years.
Officials with the engineering company say it is still too early to tell if the project will need more time.
The aim is to widen a 4.1 mile stretch of roadway along Assawoman Canal and in the Clarksville area.
In addition there will be an added turning lane, a bike lane and some sidewalks.
WBOC reports that local businesses say they are seriously concerned about the congestion they go into the tourist season.
The engineering firm says that if the project needs to make up some time it will not be done during the summer months.
