Drivers in the Pike Creek area should plan alternate routes Friday night as construction crews prepare to install safety barriers along Paper Mill Road.

The Delaware Department of Transportation has announced that Paper Mill Road will be completely shut down between Upper Pike Creek Road and Limestone Road starting at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 12th. The road closure will remain in effect until 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning while workers install a barrier wall as part of guardrail construction.
