Motorists traveling south on Route 1 should expect delays this afternoon as construction crews continue work that has shut down the right lane between Turnpoint Road and Inlet Road.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports the lane closure will remain active until 5 PM today. Drivers are advised to use caution in the work zone and allow extra travel time when heading through the area.
The affected stretch of highway runs through the coastal corridor near popular beach destinations, making it a heavily traveled route during peak hours.
