Overnight Lane Closure Planned on I-95 in Wilmington for Bridge Repairs

Drivers traveling through Wilmington should prepare for overnight lane restrictions this week as crews work to repair the I-95 viaduct.

The Delaware Department of Transportation has notified commuters that workers will need to shut down one lane of southbound Interstate 95 to fix broken acrylic panels on the Wilmington Viaduct structure.

The repair operation is set to take place overnight from 9:00 pm Wednesday, February 25th until 5:00 am Thursday morning. Should weather conditions prevent the work from proceeding as planned, DelDOT will move the project to Thursday night, February 26th, during the same hours.

The affected stretch of highway runs from the Jackson Street exit ramp to where traffic merges back onto I-95 at the 2nd Street entrance ramp.

Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when driving through the work zone during the overnight hours.
