Traffic Shift on Route 141
Set to Start Tuesday, January 20

Wilmington – The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) advises motorists who use Route 141, that Tuesday, January 20 and Wednesday, January 21, traffic will be shifted from the old pavement to the new pavement. This means that four lanes of traffic will be open, two lanes in each direction, on the eastside of Route 141.

This traffic switch will allow work to begin on the old pavement on the westside of Route 141. Four travel lanes will be maintained after the switch, which will last for one year.

Expect delays between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while work takes place. The traffic switch is weather dependent. Message boards have been set up notifying drivers of the shift.

The Route 141, Kirkwood Highway to Faulkland Road, project is designed to improve safety, relieve congestion, improve and add pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and enhance the area’s aesthetics. Greggo & Ferrara, Inc., a New Castle-based construction firm, began construction in fall 2007 and will continue through 2010. Landscaping will take place in 2011.

For more information, visit DelDOT’s Web page dedicated to the project at www.de141.deldot.gov or tune to WTMC-AM 1380.
