Drivers traveling through Newark should prepare for significant traffic disruptions this week as state transportation officials implement major lane restrictions on Interstate 95.
DelDOT has scheduled multiple closure periods affecting northbound I-95 traffic between Route 896 and the Delaware Welcome Center. The construction work will support ongoing bridge projects in the area.
Scheduled Traffic Impacts:
Monday, March 2nd through Thursday, March 5th: Single lane restrictions will be in effect on northbound I-95 from Route 896 to the Welcome Center during daytime hours from 9 AM to 3 PM. These closures are designed to provide truck access for construction crews.
Thursday, March 5th: The most significant impact will occur overnight Thursday, when multiple lanes of northbound I-95 will be closed between Route 896 and the Welcome Center to accommodate bridge work.
Additionally, Thursday night will bring rolling roadblocks affecting northbound Route 896 and the ramp connecting northbound Route 896 to northbound I-95, also related to bridge construction activities.
Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time during these closure periods.
