Further coverage on Gum Springs' interactions with continued expansions to Route 1 that encroach on their community, and risks destroying Black homes in the community. The proposed expansion to Route 1 would take the road all the way to 13 lanes for a stretch ending at the intersection of Route 1 and Sherwood Hall Lane (running through Gum Springs).
