Drivers in New Castle County should plan alternate routes as a portion of Route 9 will be temporarily shut down for emergency repairs.
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is notifying drivers that a section of Route 9 must be closed to allow workers to repair a sinkhole that has developed.
Beginning Monday, June 1st at 6:00 am, traffic will be blocked on Route 9 from Bayview Road to Farm Lane while repair crews address a sinkhole that formed above a tide gate structure.
DelDOT officials expect the road closure to remain in effect through Wednesday, June 3rd at 5:00 pm, though work could potentially be completed ahead of schedule.
