Route 1 Lane Restrictions in Effect Through Afternoon Due to Construction Work

Motorists traveling along Route 1 should expect delays today as construction crews have closed the left lane in both the northbound and southbound directions.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the lane restrictions are affecting the stretch of Coastal Highway between Primehook Road and the Slaughter Neck Road/Sugar Hill Road intersection, also known as Route 215.

Officials say the construction-related closures are expected to be lifted by 3 PM this afternoon. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the work zone.
