Fallen Tree Blocks Rockland Road in Both Directions Near Montchanin

Traffic is being rerouted around a section of Rockland Road after a fallen tree created dangerous conditions by bringing down power lines.

Delaware Department of Transportation officials have shut down the roadway in both directions between Montchanin Court and Montchanin Road while crews work to clear the obstruction.

The tree collapse has left electrical wires across the roadway, prompting the complete closure as a safety precaution for motorists.

Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes while utility crews and road maintenance teams work to restore normal traffic flow to the area.
