Downed Power Lines Force Closure of Mendenhall Mill Road

Delaware transportation officials have shut down a portion of Mendenhall Mill Road after electrical equipment fell into the roadway.

The closure spans the area between Millcreek Road and Westwood Boulevard, where a utility pole and associated power lines have blocked vehicle access.

DelDOT has not provided an estimated timeline for when the roadway will reopen to traffic. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes while crews work to clear the obstruction.
