Route 1 Southbound Lane Closure Affects Morning Commute in Sussex County

Morning commuters traveling on Route 1 southbound in Sussex County should expect delays due to an active construction zone that has reduced traffic to a single lane.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the right lane remains blocked between Cave Neck Road and Minos Conway Road while crews complete roadwork in the area.

Officials indicate the lane restriction will stay in place until 7 a.m., affecting the early morning rush hour traffic pattern.

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the construction zone.
