Drivers traveling through New Castle County should plan alternate routes as Delaware transportation officials prepare to temporarily close key highway ramps for maintenance work.
State transportation authorities have announced that both exit ramps from southbound Interstate 95 leading to Route 896 – in both northbound and southbound directions – will be shut down for overnight construction activities scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
The overnight closure will enable work crews to perform milling and paving operations on the ramps. Officials noted that the construction timeline depends on favorable weather conditions.
Transportation department officials stated that alternative routing will be clearly marked with posted signs to guide motorists around the work zone during the closure period.
