I-495 Speed Limit Lowered to 55 MPH Due to Dense Fog Conditions

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 dense fog affecting visibility along the highway.

The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution to help prevent accidents during the hazardous driving conditions caused by the thick fog blanketing the area.

Motorists traveling on I-495 are advised to reduce their speed, increase following distance, and exercise extra caution while the foggy conditions persist.
