Drivers in New Castle County should prepare for significant traffic disruptions this week as the Delaware Department of Transportation implements several road closures at the Interstate 95 and Route 896 interchange.
DelDOT officials have scheduled daytime lane restrictions on northbound Interstate 95 to accommodate truck access from Monday through Thursday. Additionally, crews will conduct overnight bridge work on Sunday that will require closing multiple lanes on northbound I-95.
Sunday night will also bring rolling roadblocks affecting the northbound State Route 896 on-ramp that connects to northbound Interstate 95, as workers continue bridge maintenance projects. Motorists can also expect daytime lane restrictions on southbound Route 896 on Sunday for sidewalk construction activities.
The transportation department advises drivers to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time during the affected periods.
