Drivers using Route 54 westbound are encountering traffic delays this afternoon due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of the right travel lane.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the lane restriction is in effect on Lighthouse Road (Route 54) heading west, specifically in the stretch between Madison Avenue (Road 58E) and Dukes Avenue.
Officials expect the construction work to wrap up and the lane to reopen by 5 PM today. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the work zone.
The affected area is a busy corridor for beach traffic, particularly during summer months when visitors travel to and from coastal destinations.
