Route 1 North Lane Closure Affects Traffic Near Smyrna Through Afternoon

Delaware drivers are facing traffic delays on a busy stretch of Route 1 north as construction crews have temporarily shut down one lane of traffic.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the right lane of northbound Route 1 is currently blocked between the Barkers Landing Bridge and Exit 91 due to ongoing construction activities.

Officials say the lane restriction is expected to remain in place until 1:30 PM today, potentially creating slower travel times for commuters and other motorists using this corridor.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their trips and exercise caution when traveling through the work zone area.
