Route 16 Traffic Alert: Construction Causes Lane Closure Until 5PM

Motorists traveling on Broadkill Road should expect delays this afternoon as construction crews have reduced traffic to a single lane in both directions.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that flaggers are controlling traffic flow on Route 16 in the area between Jefferson Road and Grant Drive. The lane restriction is scheduled to remain in effect until 5 PM today.

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time when using this route and to exercise caution when approaching the work zone. Alternative routes may help avoid potential delays during the afternoon rush hour.
