Oak Ridge Road in Hockessin Closing for Bridge Work Starting July 13

HOCKESSIN, Del. — Motorists traveling through Hockessin should plan ahead for a road closure set to begin Monday, July 13th.

The Delaware Department of Transportation has announced that Oak Ridge Road will be closed between McKennans Church Road and Valley Book Drive. The closure is expected to remain in effect through Monday, September 14th, weather permitting, to allow crews to complete a bridge replacement project.

Drivers who normally use that stretch of road will need to follow a posted detour. According to DelDOT, vehicles should head north on McKennans Church Road, then turn left onto Newport Gap Pike to get around the work zone.

Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and follow all posted detour signs throughout the duration of the project.
