Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the limit to 55 miles per hour as weather conditions create potentially dangerous driving situations.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution for motorists using the heavily traveled highway. DelDOT regularly adjusts speed limits during periods of inclement weather to help prevent accidents and protect drivers.
Drivers are advised to exercise additional caution while traveling I-495 and to allow extra time for their commutes. The speed limit will remain at the reduced level until weather conditions improve and normal driving safety is restored.
Motorists can check current traffic conditions and speed restrictions by visiting DelDOT’s website or following their social media channels for real-time updates.
