Delaware Department of Transportation officials have announced a significant road closure that will impact local traffic for nearly two years.
Old Orchard Road has been shut down completely in both directions between New Road and Savannah Road due to ongoing construction activities. The extended closure is expected to remain in effect until April 10th, 2026.
Motorists who regularly travel this route will need to find alternate paths during the construction period. DelDOT has not yet released details about the specific nature of the construction work or recommended detour routes.
The lengthy timeline suggests major infrastructure improvements are planned for this section of roadway. Drivers are advised to plan extra travel time and consider alternative routes when navigating the area.
