Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, dropping the limit to 55 miles per hour due to current weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety measure to help protect motorists traveling on the interstate during adverse weather. DelDOT monitors road conditions continuously and adjusts speed limits when necessary to maintain safe driving conditions.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution while traveling on I-495 and to observe the posted reduced speed limit. The temporary restriction will remain in effect until weather conditions improve and normal speed limits can be safely restored.
