Milford, Del. – The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has announced that Griffith Lake Drive will be closed later this month to allow for bridge maintenance work over the Griffith Lake Spillway. The closure, which begins Tuesday, September 16, will allow crews to clean and paint the bridge’s structural steel and concrete. Work is expected to continue through mid-October 2025, weather permitting.
During construction, Griffith Lake Drive will be shut down between Williamsville Road and Meadow Brook Lane. Detours will be posted:
Northbound motorists will be directed to Abbotts Pond Road, then right onto Williamsville Road to rejoin Griffith Lake Drive.
Southbound motorists will use Williamsville Road, turn left onto Abbotts Pond Road, and then reconnect with Griffith Lake Drive.
DelDOT encourages drivers traveling in the area to plan for extra travel time and exercise caution near the work zone. For project updates and traffic information, residents can visit deldot.gov or listen to WTMC-AM 1380.
