Construction Forces Closure of Right Turn Lane on US-40 West to Route 7 North

Monday, March 2, 2026 at 9:05 PM

DelDOT will temporarily shut down the right turn lane from westbound US-40 to northbound Route 7 due to ongoing construction work. Drivers should expect delays and plan alternate routes during the closure period.

Delaware Department of Transportation officials announced that construction activities will force the temporary shutdown of a key turning lane in New Castle County.

The right turn lane connecting westbound US Route 40 to northbound Delaware Route 7 will be unavailable to drivers during the construction period. DelDOT has not specified the duration of the closure or provided details about the nature of the construction work taking place.

Motorists who regularly use this route should prepare for potential traffic delays and consider using alternative paths to reach their destinations. The closure affects one of the busier intersections in the area, where US-40 meets Route 7.

DelDOT continues to monitor traffic conditions and will provide updates as the construction project progresses.
