Motorists traveling through Sussex County should plan for potential delays on Walt Messick Road today due to ongoing construction work.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the right lane of eastbound Walt Messick Road at Vernon Road is currently closed to traffic. The closure affects the stretch of roadway between Farmington Road and Whitelysburg Road.
According to DelDOT, the lane restriction is scheduled to remain in place until 4 PM today. Drivers are advised to use caution when traveling through the work zone and allow extra time for their commute.
The construction activity is causing traffic to merge into the left lane in the affected area. Officials recommend considering alternate routes if possible to avoid potential backups during peak travel times.
