Real-time traffic and travel map available at City website and at the link below

Wilmington’s Public Works Department has compiled the attached list of streets on which construction or, maintenance will occur over the next week by the City itself, or by either DelDOT, Delmarva Power, or private contractors. The attached information is for Monday, August 1 through Friday, August 5, 2022.  

The City’s website contains a real-time map that is updated daily so you can follow any changes to the weekly schedule caused by weather or other construction-related delays. Public Works Commissioner Kelly Williams said every effort is made to compile the most accurate list each week of street projects that could affect your travel in the City the following week. She cautioned, however, that the time frames for the listed projects could be altered if they are delayed due to factors such as the weather.

Downtown Farmers Market
Motorists are reminded that the Downtown Farmers Market takes place at Rodney Square from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each Wednesday – rain or shine –through October. For this reason, Market Street between 10^th and 11^th streets will be closed every Wednesday to vehicle traffic from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.

I-95 Restore the Corridor Project
Phase Two of the Delaware Department of Transportation’s (DelDOT) two-year reconstruction project to refurbish and resurface Interstate 95 that runs through the City of Wilmington is ongoing. Traffic continues to move in both directions on the northbound side of the highway. To keep up with what is planned, what will occur, and how it will affect your travels, please do the following:

• Visit the DelDOT Restore the Corridor website often (daily if possible) and sign up for updates including text messages: restorethecorridor.com 
• Download and share an informative Restore the Corridor Project Guide, available online here.
• Call DelDOT with questions or concerns. The DelDOT Community Relations Office can be reached by dialing at 302.760.2080, or you can direct your questions to the DelDOT Transportation Management Center by dialing 302.659.4600. 

As part of the continuing Restore the Corridor project, DelDOT reminds motorists that there are now two exits from I-95 Southbound into Wilmington: Exit 7A for downtown Wilmington and Exit 6 for 4^th Street. Exit 7B is expected to remain closed for another month. Motorists that need to go out Pennsylvania Avenue or head west on Delaware Avenue should now take Exit 7A, turn left onto Adams Street, and left again onto Delaware Avenue.

Moreover, the two southbound lanes of I-95 now merge into a single lane just prior to the US 202 southbound onramp to allow for drainage and traffic barrier work in the median. This new traffic pattern is expected to remain in place through the end of September.

DelDOT also advises motorists of the Delaware River and Bay Authority’s closure of both I-295 Northbound at US 13 as well as the partial closure of the ramp from I-95 southbound to I-295 Northbound AND I-495 southbound to I-295 northbound starting on Monday, August 1 at 11 p.m. through Tuesday, August 2 at 5 a.m. The work will be performed for DRBA by J.D Eckman Inc., and will consist of roadway and bridge deck patching.  
 
Detour: Motorists on I-295 northbound will be directed off onto US 13 northbound.  Once on US 13 northbound, motorists will U-turn at the traffic signal at the entrance to the Holloway Health and Social Services complex to travel southbound on US 13 where they will then turn left to enter back onto I-295 using the ramp from US 13 southbound. 
 
Motorists on I-95 southbound traveling to I-295 northbound will be directed off onto US 13 northbound and follow the same posted detour.
