Motorists traveling on eastbound Route 9 should expect delays due to ongoing construction work that has closed the right shoulder of the roadway.

According to the Delaware Department of Transportation, the shoulder closure affects the stretch of County Seat Highway/West Market Street (Route 9) between DuPont Boulevard (US 113) and Substation Road.

DelDOT officials say the construction-related closure is scheduled to remain in effect until 3:00 PM today. Drivers are advised to use caution when traveling through the work zone and allow extra time for their commute.
