Newport Pike Construction Closes Right Lane Through This Afternoon

Motorists traveling eastbound on West Newport Pike are dealing with traffic delays today due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of the right travel lane.

According to DelDOT, the lane restriction affects the stretch of roadway between Silview Avenue and Westmont Avenue. Officials say the closure is expected to last until 5 PM this afternoon.

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the construction zone. Traffic is being directed into the remaining open lanes during the work period.
