Road Closures Planned at US 40 and Salem Church Road in New Castle

The Delaware Department of Transportation is warning drivers about upcoming lane and road closures at the intersection of US 40, Glasgow Drive, and Salem Church Road in New Castle as crews prepare to carry out roadway reconstruction work.

Starting Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 12, the westbound right turn from US 40 onto Glasgow Drive will be shut down. Glasgow Drive will also be completely closed at its US 40 junction during that same period to allow for full-depth roadway construction, which includes work on pedestrian islands.

A second phase of closures is set to begin Monday, July 20 and run through Thursday, July 30. During that time, northbound Salem Church Road will be closed for approximately 300 feet from the US 40 intersection as part of what officials are calling Phase 1A construction.

Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and seek alternate routes while the work is underway.
