Delaware transportation officials have temporarily shut down the right shoulder lane on Interstate 95 southbound due to ongoing drone operations in the area.
The lane restriction is located roughly one mile ahead of the toll plaza on the southbound side of the interstate. Officials implemented the closure as a safety precaution while the unmanned aircraft conducts its operations overhead.
Motorists traveling through the area should expect potential delays and are advised to move into the left lanes when approaching the affected section of highway. The duration of the closure has not been specified, as it depends on the completion of the drone mission.
Delaware Department of Transportation continues to monitor the situation and will reopen the shoulder once the aerial operations conclude and it is safe to do so.
