Drivers traveling through Odessa should expect a significant detour for an extended period. The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has announced the closure of a section of Walker School Road, specifically between Union Church Road and Fleming Landing Road.
The closure will be in effect around the clock, seven days a week, beginning Monday, August 3rd. Motorists should be prepared for the road to remain closed for a total of 709 days — nearly two years — while crews work to replace Taylor Bridge in Odessa.
Workers will be replacing Bridge 1-447 during the project. This closure affects a different portion of Walker School Road than a previously announced shutdown in the same area.
Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time for the duration of the project.
