Motorists traveling through the Hockessin area should prepare for traffic delays this week as state transportation officials conduct tree removal operations along a busy corridor.
The Delaware Department of Transportation has announced that drivers will encounter lane restrictions on Route 48, also known as Lancaster Pike, as crews work to eliminate dangerous trees. The affected stretch runs from Centerville Road to Route 41, with operations taking place during weekday business hours.
The tree removal project is scheduled to run for three consecutive days, beginning Monday, April 27th and concluding Wednesday, April 29th. Work crews will be active from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. each day.
Additionally, transportation officials say two trees will be taken down along the southbound lanes of Route 41, located just north of Brackenville Road as part of the same safety initiative.
