Anyone traveling through downtown Wilmington should be aware of continued left lane restrictions and intermittent closures on North Orange Street between West 8th and West 9th streets. These disruptions are related to the near-completion construction of The Press apartments.

North French Street remains closed between East 11th and East 12th streets due to construction at the former MBNA buildings. The closure is part of preparations for Incyte’s relocation to this site.
