Delaware Department of Transportation crews are conducting bridge maintenance work that has forced the closure of one lane on a busy stretch of US Route 13.
The right lane of southbound Route 13 at New Sweden Street is currently blocked to traffic while DelDOT performs necessary maintenance on the bridge structure. Officials say the lane restriction will stay in place until 6 a.m.
Motorists traveling southbound on Route 13 through the area should expect delays and are advised to merge into the left lane when approaching the work zone. Drivers may want to consider alternate routes if possible to avoid potential backups during the maintenance period.
