I-295 Construction Expected to Create Traffic Congestion

Traffic congestion is on its way for some Delaware drivers.

The Delaware River and Bay Authority said that starting next year in February a $33.7 million construction project will get under way on the I-95 sound lanes of the I-295.

That’s mostly between U.S. Route 13 and I-95.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the thoroughfare is a major link between New York and Washington D.C.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

On Thanksgiving around 73-thousand vehicles used those lanes.
