Kenton Road Construction Enters New Phase, Lane Restrictions Begin Feb 25

DOVER – Delaware Department of Transportation officials are notifying drivers about the next stage of construction work on Kenton Road in Kent County.

Phase 3B of the ongoing road improvement project is set to begin Wednesday, February 25, 2026, assuming favorable weather conditions allow the work to proceed as planned.

Once this construction phase starts, drivers traveling on Kenton Road will encounter reduced traffic flow, with only one lane available for northbound traffic and one lane for southbound traffic.

In addition to the single-lane restrictions, commuters should prepare for shoulder areas to be closed off and expect periodic temporary lane shutdowns throughout the construction zone.

The roadwork is part of DelDOT’s broader effort to upgrade and improve Kenton Road infrastructure in the Dover area.
