Delaware Department of Transportation crews are performing maintenance work that will slow traffic on a busy stretch of Interstate 495 through late tonight.
Northbound I-495 between U.S. Route 13 and Philadelphia Pike is experiencing reduced speeds due to sweeping operations currently underway. The maintenance work focuses on cleaning the entrance and exit ramps in this corridor.
DelDOT officials say the sweeping operations will continue until midnight tonight. Motorists traveling through this area should expect slower than normal traffic conditions and plan for additional travel time.
The affected section includes multiple on and off ramps that serve as key access points for commuters and commercial traffic in northern New Castle County.
