Drivers should prepare for significant traffic delays on Interstate 95 in New Castle County this Monday as state transportation crews conduct bridge maintenance and inspections.
Delaware Department of Transportation officials have announced they will close multiple lanes on southbound I-95 during daytime hours Monday for bridge inspection activities. Additionally, crews will implement overnight lane restrictions on northbound I-95 for bridge construction work.
The work zone is located at the I-95 and Route 896 interchange in the Newark area. Transportation officials also plan to use rolling roadblocks overnight on northbound Route 896 and the northbound Route 896 entrance ramp to northbound I-95 on both Monday and Tuesday nights, depending on work progress.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes or allow extra travel time when passing through the construction zone during the scheduled closure periods.
