DelDOT will shut down a section of Old Orchard Road in Lewes for five days starting Monday for infrastructure improvements. Drivers will need to follow a detour route using Route 1 and surrounding roads.
LEWES – A major road closure is coming to Sussex County next week as state transportation officials prepare for infrastructure work.
The Delaware Department of Transportation will shut down Old Orchard Road between New Road and Savannah Road from Monday, March 30th until Friday, April 3rd. The five-day closure is needed for crews to install new water lines and complete drainage improvements, weather conditions permitting.
Motorists traveling northbound on Old Orchard Road will need to follow an alternate route: head west on New Road, then south on Nassau Road, continue south on Route 1, turn east on Savannah Road, and finally north on Old Orchard Road to reach their destination.
Drivers coming from the south on Old Orchard Road should take Savannah Road west, then go north on Route 1, continue north on Nassau Road, head east on New Road, and finally south on Old Orchard Road.
The work is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements in the Lewes area.
