Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the maximum speed to 55 miles per hour due to current weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution to help protect motorists traveling along the highway during adverse weather. Transportation officials routinely adjust speed limits when conditions warrant additional safety measures.
Drivers using I-495 are advised to follow the posted temporary speed limit and exercise extra caution while traveling. The speed reduction will remain in effect until weather conditions improve and normal driving conditions return to the highway.
