Written by Kiss Media on 16 October 2026
Drivers crossing the Summit Bridge in Delaware should prepare for possible slowdowns, as the right lane is closed in both directions due to road work.
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is reporting the closures as construction-related, with the northbound and southbound right lanes both affected. The advisory was issued Friday, October 16, 2026.
Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling through the work zone and to build in extra travel time, as delays are possible in the area. Drivers should remain alert for lane shifts, equipment, and changing traffic conditions while crews are on the roadway.
Officials have not announced a specific end time for the work, and no detour routes have been posted at this time. Drivers heading through the corridor are encouraged to check current traffic conditions before leaving and to consider alternate routes if delays develop.
Travelers with questions or looking for the latest updates can check DelDOT’s traveler information resources and local traffic reports before hitting the road.
