DelDOT will shut down a section of Old Wilmington Road in Hockessin for four days this week to replace underground pipes. The closure affects the stretch between Loveville Road and Brackenville Road from Tuesday through Friday.

Drivers in the Hockessin area will need to find alternative routes this week as the Delaware Department of Transportation tackles an infrastructure project.

DelDOT has announced that a portion of Old Wilmington Road will be completely shut down from Tuesday, March 24 through Friday, March 27 to allow crews to replace crossroad pipes. The affected section runs from Loveville Road to Brackenville Road.

The four-day closure is scheduled to proceed as planned, though DelDOT notes the work is weather dependent. Officials are warning drivers to plan ahead by using different routes and to anticipate some minor traffic delays in nearby areas during the construction period.

Additional details about this and other DelDOT projects can be found on the department’s website at www.deldot.gov.
