Drivers using River Road today will need to exercise caution as construction activities have forced the closure of the right shoulder along a busy section of the roadway.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the northbound right shoulder is currently blocked between Hamburg Road and Federal School Lane due to ongoing construction work.
Officials indicate the shoulder closure will remain in effect until 3 PM this afternoon. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and merge safely into the left lane when approaching the work zone.
The construction activity may cause temporary delays and reduced speeds in the area as traffic is consolidated into fewer lanes during the work period.
