Drivers in Mt. Pleasant will need to find alternate routes as Delaware transportation officials prepare to shut down a stretch of Ratledge Road for extensive reconstruction work.
The Delaware Department of Transportation has notified the public that Ratledge Road will be completely closed between Boyds Corner Road and Lorewood Grove Road beginning Thursday, April 23rd. The closure is expected to last approximately six weeks.
According to DelDOT, crews will tear up the current road surface and rebuild the street with an entirely new configuration. The project represents a complete overhaul of this section of roadway rather than simple repairs.
Motorists who regularly travel this route should plan alternative paths during the construction period, which will extend into early June.
