The Delaware Department of Transportation will eliminate toll-takers effective Tuesday, March 17 as the agency works to cut risks from coronavirus.
DelDOT will also end the use of cash payments and limit the number of people in the state’s four DMV offices. Gov. John Carney has ordered that public gatherings be limited to 50 people or fewer.
At the state’s three toll plazas, there will be no toll collectors working to collect cash payments. All traffic will be directed through the EZPass lanes and motorists without EZPass will receive a bill in the mail for the toll with no penalty or processing fee.
The Route 896 southbound ramp to I-95 southbound will temporarily close due to the road configuration that does not permit access to the EZPass lanes. A detour will be posted.
The state already has no toll-takers on the Route 301 toll road.
The following DMV services will be suspended until further notice:
• All Class D and Commercial Driver License (CDL) road exams
• All motorcycle safety courses conducted at all DMV locations
• All vision tests will be temporarily waived
• All emissions testing for vehicles
• All Auto Theft Unit (ATU) transactions
DMV customers that need to conduct business are asked to come alone to avoid congestion.
