Route 1 Southbound Shut Down at Kirkwood St. Georges Bridge

Southbound traffic on Route 1 has come to a complete standstill as Delaware Department of Transportation officials have shut down the roadway at the Kirkwood St. Georges overpass.

The highway closure is impacting one of the state’s busiest north-south corridors, with motorists being forced to find alternative routes around the affected area.

DelDOT has not yet provided details about what prompted the closure or when normal traffic flow might resume on this heavily traveled stretch of Route 1.
