Motorists traveling eastbound on Route 40 should expect delays today due to ongoing construction work that has forced the closure of the right lane.
The lane restriction is affecting traffic on Pulaski Highway between Wilton Boulevard and the point where Route 13 and Route 40 separate. Delaware Department of Transportation officials say the closure will remain active until 3 PM today.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the construction zone. Traffic may be moving slower than usual as vehicles merge from the closed right lane into the remaining open lanes.
