Delaware Department of Transportation officials have implemented a temporary speed limit reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the maximum speed to 55 miles per hour due to dangerous weather conditions affecting the roadway.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution to help protect motorists traveling on I-495 during the current weather event. Transportation authorities regularly adjust speed limits on state highways when conditions become hazardous for normal driving speeds.
Drivers are advised to exercise additional caution while traveling on the affected stretch of highway and to observe the reduced speed limit until conditions improve and normal speed limits are restored.
