Delaware residents are being advised to prepare for substantial traffic disruptions on Monday, January 5th, as the state pays its final respects to fallen Delaware State Trooper Cpl/1 Matthew T. “Ty” Snook.
The memorial service will be held at the University of Delaware’s Bob Carpenter Center, located at 631 S. College Avenue in Newark. Authorities are warning drivers to expect considerable delays in the surrounding area between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The extended timeframe for potential traffic impacts reflects the anticipated large attendance as law enforcement officers, community members, and officials gather to honor the fallen trooper’s service and sacrifice.
Motorists planning to travel through or near the South College Avenue corridor are strongly encouraged to seek alternative routes or allow extra time for their commutes throughout Monday.
