Motorists traveling through downtown Rehoboth Beach should plan alternate routes on Tuesday, March 4, 2026, as city officials announce a six-hour street shutdown to accommodate construction work.
South First Street will be blocked to traffic between Rehoboth Avenue and Wilmington Avenue starting at 7 a.m. and continuing until 1 p.m. The street closure is necessary to allow crane equipment to safely access the Avenue Inn for heating and air conditioning system repairs on the building’s rooftop.
Rehoboth Beach police officers will be stationed throughout the affected area to direct traffic and maintain safety protocols while the construction crew completes their work. The temporary closure is expected to conclude by early afternoon, allowing normal traffic flow to resume.
