Route 1 Lane Closures Planned Near Milford This Weekend

Delaware transportation officials have announced overnight lane restrictions on Route 1 in the Milford area for roadway maintenance activities.

The Delaware Department of Transportation will implement lane closures on Route 1 in both the northbound and southbound directions near the Route 36/Cedar Beach Road intersection for pavement repair operations. These restrictions will take effect from 8:00 PM until 6:00 AM on both Sunday, May 17 and Monday, May 18th.

Additionally, the entrance ramp from Route 36 onto northbound Route 1 will be temporarily shut down during the same overnight hours. Drivers will need to use alternate routes and should watch for detour signs that will guide traffic around the closure.

The work is part of ongoing roadway maintenance in Kent County to keep the heavily-traveled corridor in good condition for motorists.
