Drivers traveling south on Route 1 should expect delays this afternoon as construction crews have shut down the left lane between Janice Road and Cave Neck Road.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports the lane restriction on Coastal Highway is part of ongoing construction work in the area. Traffic is being directed around the work zone using the remaining lanes.
DelDOT officials say the left lane closure is expected to be lifted by 5:00 PM today, though motorists should plan for possible delays and consider alternate routes if traveling through the area during peak hours.
