Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, dropping the limit to 55 miles per hour as thick fog blankets the roadway.
The speed restriction comes as dense fog conditions create reduced visibility for drivers, prompting safety concerns along the busy corridor. Transportation authorities are monitoring the situation and urge motorists to exercise extra caution while traveling through the affected area.
Drivers are advised to reduce their speed, increase following distances, and use headlights while navigating through the foggy conditions. The temporary speed limit will remain in effect until visibility improves and normal driving conditions return to the interstate.
