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 area.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a precautionary safety measure to help protect motorists navigating the highway during adverse weather. DelDOT regularly adjusts speed limits on major roadways when weather conditions pose potential hazards to drivers.
Motorists traveling on I-495 are advised to observe the reduced speed limit and exercise additional caution while driving. The temporary speed reduction will remain in effect until weather conditions improve and normal highway speeds can be safely restored.
