Morning commuters traveling through New Castle County should expect delays on southbound Route 72 due to ongoing construction work.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the left lane is currently blocked between Bellevue Road and Brookhill Drive as crews continue their work. The lane closure is scheduled to remain in place until 6 AM.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the construction zone. Traffic may be backed up during peak morning hours as vehicles merge into the remaining open lanes.
