Drivers traveling on northbound Interstate 495 are facing significant delays this morning after a traffic accident forced authorities to shut down two left lanes near the East 12th Street overpass.
The crash has created a bottleneck in the area, with traffic being funneled into the remaining right lanes. Delaware Department of Transportation officials are working to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes if possible or allow extra travel time when passing through the area. The duration of the lane closures has not yet been determined.
