Drivers traveling through the Townsend area of New Castle County will need to find an alternate route starting this summer. The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is warning motorists that Walker School Road will be closed for an extended period beginning Wednesday, July 1st.
The closure will remain in place until Saturday, October 24th, affecting the stretch of Walker School Road between Gum Bush Road and Saw Mill Branch Road. During that time, crews will be working to replace Bridge 1-453 in the area.
Drivers are encouraged to plan accordingly and allow extra travel time when heading through that part of New Castle County.
