Motorists in New Castle County are facing detours today as a railroad equipment failure has forced authorities to close a portion of Marl Pit Road.
The affected stretch runs between Summit Bridge Road and Cedar Lane Road, where a malfunctioning train is blocking the roadway crossing.
Delaware Department of Transportation officials have not provided an estimated timeline for when the roadway will reopen to normal traffic flow.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes while crews work to resolve the railroad equipment issue.
