I-95 South Lane Closure Tuesday Morning for Emergency Cleanup

Drivers using southbound Interstate 95 near the Route 273 interchange should plan for delays Tuesday morning as crews work to clean up an environmental hazard.

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has announced that the right lane will be closed on Tuesday, May 19th from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM for emergency cleanup operations.

Work crews will be removing contaminated soil after diesel fuel was released overnight in the area, requiring immediate environmental remediation.

DelDOT is advising drivers to exercise caution when traveling through the work zone and to allow extra time for their commute due to expected minor traffic delays.
