Drivers heading south on coastal Route 1 are facing delays this afternoon due to heavy traffic conditions between two popular beach destinations.
The backup is occurring on the southbound lanes of Route 1 in the stretch from DE 1A in Rehoboth Beach down to Dewey Beach, where motorists should expect to add an extra 5 to 10 minutes to their travel time.
Officials report that the delays are the result of traffic congestion in the corridor. No incidents or road work are contributing to the slowdown at this time.
