Due to the forecast of snow and below-freezing temperatures, The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) will delay lane restrictions and work scheduled to begin on I-95 southbound in Wilmington on Friday.
Work will now begin Friday, February 19. As a result, there will be no lane restrictions on I-95 through Wilmington this weekend.
This work is in preparation for the Restore the Corridor construction that will begin in March.
The $200 million project will reduce the number of travel lanes to one for a couple of years. The project includes rehabbing viaducts that are a big part of the I-95 route through Wilmington.
Commuters are being advised to seek alternate routes, with SEPTA service resumng between Newark and Wilmington in an effort to provide another option.
Information about the project can be found at the website, www.restorethecorridor.com.
