GREENWOOD – Delaware transportation officials are warning drivers about a major road closure coming to Sussex County next week.
The Delaware Department of Transportation will shut down Route 16/Market Street between Route 13 southbound and Queen Street beginning May 4th and lasting through May 12th, depending on weather conditions. The closure is necessary for road reconstruction work in the area.
Officials have established detour routes to help drivers navigate around the construction zone. Motorists traveling southbound on Route 13 should continue south, then turn right onto Governors Avenue, followed by a right turn onto Mill Street to complete the detour.
For drivers heading eastbound on Route 16, the alternate route involves turning right onto Mill Street, then left onto Governors Avenue, followed by a left turn onto Route 13 northbound to reach their destination.
The week-long closure will affect traffic flow in the Greenwood area as crews complete the necessary reconstruction work on this section of roadway.
