Delaware Department of Transportation officials have shut down the southbound Route 896 ramp connecting to Interstate 95, forcing drivers to seek alternative routes during the closure.
The ramp closure, designated as Ramp D in DelDOT’s traffic management system, is currently directing all affected traffic to follow established detour routes around the area.
Transportation authorities have not yet provided details regarding the cause of the closure or an estimated timeline for reopening the ramp to normal traffic flow.
Drivers who regularly use this route are advised to plan extra travel time and follow the posted detour signage until the ramp reopens.
