Drivers heading south on Route 1 are facing traffic delays today due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of one travel lane.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the left southbound lane of Coastal Highway is blocked between Deep Branch Road and Broadkill Road (Route 16) while crews complete construction activities.
Officials say the lane restriction will remain in effect until 3:00 PM today, after which normal traffic flow is expected to resume.
Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when driving through the work zone area.
