Delaware transportation officials are warning Pike Creek area drivers about upcoming lane restrictions on five major roads. Construction crews will be working on guardrail and accessibility improvements during daytime hours from March 16th through late April.

Motorists traveling through Pike Creek should prepare for significant traffic disruptions beginning Monday as construction crews start major infrastructure improvements on multiple roadways.

Delaware transportation officials have issued notice that five busy roads in the area will experience lane restrictions and shoulder closures during a multi-week construction project. The affected routes include Paper Mill Road, Polly Drummond Hill Road, Upper Pike Creek Road, Pike Creek Road, and Northstar Road.

Work crews will focus on upgrading guardrail systems and improving ADA accessibility features along these corridors. The construction activities are scheduled to take place during standard business hours, with restrictions in effect from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day.

The project timeline spans approximately six weeks, with work beginning Monday, March 16th and expected to wrap up sometime in mid to late April. DelDOT advises drivers to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time when navigating through the construction zones.
