Drivers traveling eastbound on Walt Messick Road should expect delays this afternoon due to ongoing construction work.<\/p>

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that the right eastbound lane on Route 14 is currently closed between Whiteleysburg Road and Farmington Road. The lane restriction is part of construction activities in the area.<\/p>

Officials say the closure will remain in place until 4:00 PM today. Motorists are advised to use caution when traveling through the work zone and allow extra time for their commute.<\/p>

The construction is causing traffic to merge into a single eastbound lane in the affected stretch of roadway.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
