Drivers in New Castle County should prepare for significant traffic disruptions at the Interstate 95 and Route 896 interchange this week as the Delaware Department of Transportation implements major roadwork.
DelDOT officials have announced plans to shut down the northbound Route 896 roadway along with the northbound Route 896 entrance ramp leading to northbound Interstate 95 during overnight hours on both Monday and Tuesday. These closures are necessary to establish new traffic flow patterns in the area.
Additionally, motorists can expect continuous lane restrictions on northbound I-95 throughout Tuesday as crews work on a traffic switch maintenance project. Monday will also see daytime lane closures on the northbound side of Interstate 95 to accommodate truck access for the construction work.
The transportation department advises drivers to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time while navigating around the construction zone during the scheduled work periods.
