Route 72 North Lane Closure Affects Traffic Until 3 PM Today

Motorists traveling on Route 72 northbound should expect delays due to ongoing construction work that has reduced traffic to fewer lanes.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that Chapel Street/Sunset Lake Road northbound is experiencing a lane closure in the stretch between South Old Baltimore Pike and the Interstate 95 overpass.

Officials indicate the construction-related lane restriction will continue through 3:00 PM today before normal traffic patterns resume.

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time or consider alternate routes to avoid potential congestion in the affected area.
