2:56 p.m., May 2, 2008--The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has announced plans for the closure of I-495 northbound at the I-95 northbound split to mill and overlay the hot mix road surface for the weekend of May 2-5, and the weekend of May 9-12. The closures will begin at midnight on Saturday mornings, and will reopen to traffic at 5 a.m. Monday mornings. This construction work will be weather-dependent.

This work is being performed during the weekends to decrease impact on commuter traffic during the week. For details about the planned closures and detours, go to DelDOT's Web site at [www.deldot.gov].
