Route 1 South Lane Closed for Construction Between Broadkill and Paynter

Motorists traveling south on Route 1 are encountering traffic delays due to construction activity that has forced the closure of the left lane.

The lane restriction affects the stretch of highway between Broadkill Road (Route 16) and Paynter Drive, with crews expected to complete their work and reopen the lane by 3 PM today.

Drivers should plan for potential delays and consider alternate routes if possible during the construction period.
