Motorists traveling along Route 1 are experiencing traffic disruptions today due to ongoing construction work that has shut down one lane of the busy coastal corridor.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the right lane of Coastal Highway is currently blocked between Paynter Road and Broadkill Road, which is also known as Route 16. The lane restriction is expected to remain in place through 3 PM this afternoon.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and exercise caution when passing through the construction zone. Traffic may be moving slower than usual as vehicles merge into the remaining open lane.
