DelDOT is installing a double flyover interchange where Interstate 95 and Route 896 meet.
The Delaware Department of Transportation says work on the Interstate 95 and Route 896 interchange will mean closure of the ramps from and overnight lane changes starting Wednesday, July 5.
That includes closure of the ramps from northbound and southbound Route 896 onto southbound I-95 for clearing and utility work, overnight lane closures on northbound Route 896 for drainage work, and overnight lane closures on Route 72 for demolition shield installation.
Here’s what’s planned:
- I-95 RAMP CLOSURES: Daytime ramp closures on Wednesday, July 5 and Friday, July 7 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m for both northbound and southbound Route 896 onto southbound I-95.
- I-95 LANE CLOSURES: Overnight lane closure on southbound I-95 Wednesday, July 5, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., north of the Route 896 interchange.
- Route 896 LANE CLOSURES: Overnight lane closure Wednesday, July 5 and Thursday, July 6 from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., northbound Route 896 between Old Baltimore Pike and I-95 interchange.
- Route 72 LANE CLOSURES: Overnight lane closure Wednesday, July 5, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., between Scottfield Drive and Peoples Drive. Flaggers will direct traffic.
