Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the maximum allowable speed to 55 miles per hour due to current weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction has been put into place as a safety precaution for drivers traveling along the interstate corridor. DelDOT monitoring systems indicate that weather conditions warrant the reduced speed limit to help prevent accidents and ensure safer travel.
Motorists are advised to exercise additional caution while driving on I-495 and to observe the temporary 55 mph speed limit currently in effect. The speed restriction will remain in place until weather conditions improve and normal speed limits can be safely restored.
