Delaware Department of Transportation crews are conducting litter removal operations along a busy stretch of Route 40 today, creating temporary lane restrictions for drivers.
The cleanup work is taking place on the southbound side of Route 40, spanning from the Route 1 exit down to the Maryland border. Workers are positioned on the right shoulder of the highway.
DelDOT officials say the litter removal operations are scheduled to wrap up by 3:00 PM this afternoon. Drivers using this corridor should allow extra time and exercise caution when passing through the work zone.
The affected area covers several miles of the major highway that connects northern Delaware to Maryland’s Upper Eastern Shore.
