Drivers using northbound Route 896 are encountering periodic lane restrictions this morning as construction work continues along a busy stretch of roadway.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that lanes are being temporarily closed at various times between the Interstate 95 interchange and Welsh Tract Road while crews complete ongoing construction activities.
Officials say the lane restrictions are expected to remain in effect until 6 a.m., after which normal traffic patterns should resume.
Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when driving through the work zone area.
