LEWES, Del. - The closure of Minos Conaway Road between Route 1 and Route 9 has been extended as work continues on a roundabout.

The Delaware Department of Transportation said the road is now expected to remain closed through Monday, Oct. 5, weather permitting. The closure had previously been scheduled to end Sept. 14. Minos Conaway Road has been closed in the area since July 13 for construction of a roundabout as part of the Minos Conaway Road project.

DelDOT said drivers heading south on Route 1 should pass Minos Conaway Road, turn right onto Route 9 and then turn right onto Minos Conaway Road, according to DelDOT. Drivers heading east on Route 9 should pass Minos Conaway Road, continue east and use the jughandle at the Five Points intersection to access Route 1 north.

Drivers on Minos Conaway Road should use Route 9 to access Route 1. The revised completion date will depend on weather conditions.
