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 current weather conditions.
The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution to help motorists navigate the highway more safely during the ongoing weather event. DelDOT monitors road conditions continuously and adjusts speed limits when necessary to protect drivers.
Motorists traveling on I-495 are advised to reduce their speed, maintain safe following distances, and exercise extra caution while the weather-related speed limit remains in effect.
The temporary speed reduction will remain in place until weather conditions improve and normal driving conditions return to the area.
