Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the maximum allowable speed to 55 miles per hour throughout the corridor due to dangerous weather conditions.
The speed restriction went into effect as weather conditions deteriorated, prompting state transportation authorities to take precautionary measures for motorist safety. The temporary limit applies to the entire length of I-495.
Drivers traveling on the interstate should expect the reduced speed limit to remain in place until weather conditions improve and normal driving conditions return to the roadway.
