Delaware’s Transportation Department has announced a modification to the I-95 northbound traffic pattern near the U.S. 202 exit near Newport.
Beginning August 25, the left shoulder of I-95 northbound will be closed, the left lane will be for through traffic and the right lane will be for traffic exiting at US 202.
The temporary change will allow for traffic barrier work in the median and left shoulder.
The traffic pattern is expected to remain in place through the end of September 2022.
The change may increase traffic congestion in the area during peak travel periods, according to a DelDOT news release. Motorists are encouraged to use I-495 to travel around the construction zone.
Motorists should use caution and expect minor delays in the area.
