Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, bringing the limit down to 55 miles per hour as a response to current weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety measure to help motorists travel more safely during the challenging weather situation. DelDOT regularly adjusts speed limits on major highways when conditions warrant additional caution from drivers.
Drivers using I-495 are advised to observe the posted reduced speed limit and exercise extra care while traveling. The department monitors weather conditions continuously and will restore normal speed limits when conditions improve.
