Route 896 Lane Closure Affecting Afternoon Traffic Through 3:30 PM

Motorists traveling southbound on Route 896 should expect delays this afternoon due to ongoing construction work between Plymouth Drive and Welsh Tract Road.

DelDOT reports that the right lane remains closed for construction activities and is scheduled to reopen by 3:30 PM today. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when passing through the work zone.

The lane restriction may cause traffic backups during the afternoon commute as vehicles merge into the remaining open lane.
