Drivers traveling through New Castle County should prepare for significant traffic delays Monday as state transportation officials implement multiple lane closures along Interstate 95 near the Route 896 interchange.
The Delaware Department of Transportation has scheduled daytime lane restrictions on southbound I-95 to conduct bridge inspections throughout Monday. Transportation crews will also shut down multiple lanes on northbound I-95 during overnight hours for bridge maintenance work.
Additional traffic disruptions are planned for Route 896, where DelDOT will implement rolling roadblocks on the northbound lanes and the northbound on-ramp connecting to northbound I-95. These rolling closures are scheduled for Monday night and may extend into Tuesday evening if work crews require additional time to complete the bridge repairs.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes or allow extra travel time when navigating through the Newark area during the construction period.
