Motorists using southbound North DuPont Highway should expect delays this afternoon as construction crews have blocked off the right travel lane near Hessler Boulevard.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the lane restriction on Route 13 southbound is part of ongoing construction activities in the area. Traffic is being directed around the work zone using the remaining open lanes.
Officials indicate the lane closure will stay in place until 3 PM today. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the construction zone.
The state transportation department continues to monitor traffic conditions and will reopen the lane once construction work is completed for the day.
