Delaware officials announced Sunday that driving restrictions in the state’s two southern counties have been reduced following ongoing winter storm recovery operations.
Kent and Sussex counties, which had been under a complete driving prohibition, now face more limited travel restrictions that still discourage non-essential trips. Meanwhile, New Castle County continues under its existing driving advisory.
The announcement came from Smyrna as state agencies work around the clock to clear roadways and restore normal travel conditions throughout Delaware.
Under the current Level 2 restrictions in Kent and Sussex counties, residents are strongly urged to avoid unnecessary travel while road crews continue their cleanup efforts. The previous Level 3 designation had completely prohibited vehicle operation except for emergency situations.
State officials have not provided a timeline for when restrictions might be lifted entirely, saying conditions will continue to be monitored as recovery work progresses.
