MILFORD, Del. — The Delaware Department of Transportation will close Big Stone Beach Road between Torbert Road and Gobbler Lane for pipe replacement beginning Wednesday, July 23. The closure is expected to last through Friday, July 25, weather permitting.
The project involves replacing a crossroad pipe to improve roadway infrastructure in Kent County, according to DelDOT. Motorists will not be able to use the closed stretch and are advised to follow a marked detour.
For northbound drivers on Big Stone Beach Road, the detour will direct vehicles to turn left onto Torbert Road, then right onto Thompsonville Road, and right onto Gobbler Lane before rejoining Big Stone Beach Road. Southbound drivers will be rerouted by turning right onto Gobbler Lane, left onto Thompsonville Road, left onto Torbert Road, and then back to Big Stone Beach Road.
DelDOT urges drivers to plan for possible delays and use extra caution when navigating detour routes. Updates and travel advisories are available from the Delaware Department of Transportation.
