Flooding Forces Closure of Airport Road Section Near New Castle

Delaware Department of Transportation officials have temporarily shut down a section of Airport Road due to standing water that has made the route impassable for vehicles.

The closure affects the stretch of roadway between Exit 5A and Meadow Road, with floodwaters blocking traffic flow in both directions. Motorists are being advised to seek alternate routes while crews assess the situation.

DelDOT has not yet provided an estimated timeline for when the roadway might reopen to traffic. Drivers should expect delays and plan accordingly when traveling in the area.
