MIDDLETOWN – Transportation officials have shut down a section of Lorewood Grove Road following infrastructure damage that has made the route impassable for drivers.
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) reports that a pipe beneath the roadway has failed, creating conditions that washed away roughly half of the street surface. The affected area spans from Ratledge Road to Tami Trail.
Officials implemented the road closure effective today, with no timeline established for when the route will reopen to traffic. DelDOT has advised drivers that the shutdown will remain active until repairs can be completed.
Motorists who regularly use this route are being urged to seek alternative paths while crews assess the damage and develop a repair plan.
