Delaware transportation officials are preparing for a busy weekend on First State roadways for the 4th of July holiday.
To keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible, DelDOT is suspending planned lane closures on Route 1, I-95 and U.S Route 202 beginning early Thursday morning.
Additional lanes will be open in expectation of heavy traffic at the toll plazas on I-95 in Newark and on Route 1 at both the Biddles and Dover toll plazas.
The agency is also reminding motorists that the I-495 bridge over the Christina River in Wilmington remains closed in both directions – which could cause delays on I-95.
Meanwhile, DART fixed route and paratransit bus service will not operate on Friday, July 4th with the exception of the resort Transit Routes and the Route 305 Beach Connection.
And Friday, Septa’s Wilmington/Newark line will operate on a weekend schedule.
