SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. \u2014<\/strong> Motorists in Sussex County can expect road closures and detours as Chief Road will be closed at the intersection of Northwood Lane between Oak Orchard Road and River Road for utility work beginning July 28 in Millsboro. The Delaware Department of Transportation has announced that the closure will start at 7:00 a.m., and is expected to last through Wednesday, July 31, pending weather conditions. During this time, crews will be installing new pipe connections, a manhole, and isolation valves. Once underground work is completed, officials say the affected section of roadway will be paved and restriped before reopening to traffic. To manage traffic flow, a detour will be implemented for southbound vehicles on Old Orchard Road. Drivers will be directed to continue south on Chief Road, turn right onto River Road, and follow signs until the detour ends at Chief Road. Eastbound motorists on River Road will continue east on Chief Road, with the detour concluding at Old Orchard Road. Transportation officials urge drivers to plan alternate routes and allow for additional travel time while crews complete the improvements. Residents and commuters in the area are advised to stay alert for posted signage and updated traffic information during the closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
