Delaware Department of Transportation officials have temporarily reduced the speed limit on Interstate 495 to 55 miles per hour due to current weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction is now in effect as weather-related conditions have made driving conditions hazardous along the interstate corridor. DelDOT implemented the reduced speed limit as a safety precaution for motorists traveling through the area.
Drivers are urged to exercise additional caution while navigating I-495 and to adjust their driving speeds according to the temporary posted limits. The speed reduction will remain in place until weather conditions improve and normal driving conditions return to the interstate.
Motorists should allow extra travel time and maintain safe following distances while the temporary speed restriction is active.
