Friday, March 13, 2026 at 6:05 PM

A vehicle accident has shut down the two left lanes of northbound Interstate 495 at the Christina River Bridge. Motorists should expect delays and consider alternate routes while crews work to clear the scene.

Northbound traffic on Interstate 495 is experiencing significant delays after a vehicle collision forced authorities to shut down two left lanes at the Christina River Bridge crossing.

According to Delaware Department of Transportation officials, the crash has blocked the left two travel lanes, creating a bottleneck for commuters traveling north through the area.

Drivers are advised to use caution when approaching the scene and allow extra time for their commute. Traffic is being directed around the accident site using the remaining open lanes.

DelDOT has not yet provided an estimated time for when the lanes will reopen. Motorists may want to consider using alternate routes to avoid the backup.
