A part of Interstate 95 southbound in Wilmington will be closed at 7 p.m. Monday night for emergency repair of a guardrail damaged in a crash Tuesday night.

The section of I95 between Delaware Avenue and the Jackson Street onramp will reopen about 5 a.m. Thursday, the Delaware Department of Transportation said in a press release.

The interstate through Wilmington is already restricted because of the Restore the Corridor project.

Traffic traveling south will leave I95 at exit 7B, which is Delaware Avenue, and follow Jackson Street to re-enter I95 by way of the I95 southbound on-ramp.
