Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 4:30 AM

Delaware transportation officials have temporarily lowered the speed limit on Interstate 495 to 55 miles per hour due to dense fog conditions. The reduced speed restriction is in effect to ensure driver safety during the hazardous weather conditions.

Delaware transportation authorities have implemented a temporary speed reduction on Interstate 495, lowering the limit to 55 miles per hour as dense fog creates dangerous driving conditions across the area.

The speed restriction has been put in place as a safety precaution while thick fog reduces visibility for motorists traveling on the busy highway corridor.

Drivers are urged to exercise extra caution and maintain safe following distances while the foggy weather persists. The temporary speed limit will remain in effect until visibility conditions improve and normal driving conditions return to the interstate.
