Northbound Route 9 Shut Down at Reedy Point Bridge for Inspections

Motorists traveling on northbound Route 9 are facing a complete road closure at the Reedy Point Bridge as inspection crews conduct necessary bridge maintenance work.

Delaware Department of Transportation officials have shut down the northbound lanes to allow for thorough structural inspections of the bridge. The closure began earlier today and is scheduled to continue until 4 PM this afternoon.

Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes and expect delays in the area. The southbound lanes of Route 9 remain unaffected by the inspection work.

DelDOT has not indicated whether the closure may extend beyond the 4 PM timeframe, but motorists should check traffic conditions before traveling through the area.
