Route 9 Lane Restriction in Place for Construction Work This Afternoon

Delaware Department of Transportation crews are conducting construction work along a stretch of River Road today, resulting in a temporary lane restriction for motorists.

The right shoulder of Route 9 is currently closed between Malcolm Forest Road and Grantham Lane while the construction activities take place. DelDOT officials indicate the shoulder closure will remain in effect until 3 PM this afternoon.

Drivers traveling through the area should expect potential delays and are advised to exercise caution while passing through the work zone. Motorists may want to consider alternate routes if possible to avoid any traffic congestion.
