Drivers traveling through the Newark area should prepare for significant traffic disruptions this week as construction work impacts the I-95 and Route 896 interchange.
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has issued an advisory warning motorists about multiple lane restrictions scheduled from Tuesday through Thursday. During daytime hours Tuesday through Thursday, northbound I-95 will experience lane closures to accommodate truck access for the project.
Overnight operations on Tuesday and Wednesday will bring more extensive disruptions, with multiple northbound I-95 lanes closing along with the northbound EZPass Lane as crews implement a traffic switch.
Additionally, drivers heading southbound will face continuous restrictions from Wednesday through Thursday as the off-ramp from southbound I-95 to southbound Route 896 will be completely closed around the clock for paving operations.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes or allow extra travel time when navigating through this heavily traveled corridor during the construction period.
