A traffic accident has resulted in the closure of the right merge lane on East Chestnut Hill Road coming from Salem Church Road, according to Delaware Department of Transportation officials.
The crash has blocked access to the merging lane, prompting authorities to shut down that portion of roadway to vehicle traffic. DelDOT is advising motorists to avoid the area if possible and to use alternative routes while emergency crews and transportation workers address the situation.
No details about the severity of the collision or potential injuries have been released at this time. Drivers traveling through the area should anticipate delays and exercise caution around the accident scene.
This is a developing situation and road conditions may change as crews work to clear the wreckage and reopen the affected lane to normal traffic flow.
