Delaware transportation officials announced updated travel restrictions across the state this morning, with conditions improving in the northern region while southern counties maintain strict advisories.
As of 11:00 a.m. today, New Castle County has been moved down to a Level 1 Driving Warning, which advises residents to stay off the roads unless they have essential safety, health, or business needs requiring travel. State officials continue to encourage all drivers to exercise extreme caution when venturing out.
Meanwhile, Kent and Sussex counties remain under Level 3 driving restrictions, the state’s most serious travel advisory. This designation typically indicates hazardous road conditions that pose significant risks to motorists.
The announcement originated from Smyrna, where state officials have been monitoring road conditions throughout the weather event. The varying restriction levels across Delaware’s three counties reflect the different impacts weather conditions are having on roadways from north to south.
Residents are encouraged to check current road conditions and heed all official travel advisories before making any non-essential trips.
