Travelers on Route 1 southbound should expect a frustrating commute between Delaware Route 9 and the Rehoboth Avenue Extension, where congestion is causing delays of 20 to 30 minutes, according to Delaware’s transportation authority.
The backup is the result of heavy traffic volume in the corridor. No specific incident or crash has been cited as the cause — the slowdown appears to be congestion-related.
Drivers in the area are encouraged to allow extra travel time or consider alternative routes to avoid the delay. Updates on current road conditions can be found through DelDOT’s traffic information resources.
