Construction Closes Left Lane on Route 1 North Near Paytner Road

Drivers using Route 1 northbound are facing traffic delays today due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of the left travel lane.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the left lane is blocked between Paytner Road and Deep Branch Road while crews complete construction activities in the area.

Officials say the lane restriction will remain in place until 3 PM today, after which normal traffic patterns are expected to resume.

Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and exercise caution when driving through the work zone.
