Delaware transportation officials are alerting drivers about upcoming road repairs that will impact traffic flow on a busy New Castle County roadway this week.

State highway crews will conduct pavement restoration work along Shipley Road, specifically targeting the stretch between Philadelphia Pike and Washington Street Extension. The repair project is scheduled to run from Monday, March 16th through Friday, March 20th, with daily operations taking place between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

During the five-day construction period, vehicles traveling through the work area will be restricted to one lane of traffic. Flaggers will be stationed at the site to direct the flow of vehicles safely through the construction zone.

Transportation officials are advising drivers to exercise extra caution when traveling through the area and to allow additional time for their commutes due to anticipated minor traffic delays.
