LEWES, Del - DelDOT will close Nassau Road at Route 1 beginning Sept. 22. This is part of ongoing work on the Route 1 Minos Conaway Grade Separated Intersection project.
According to DelDOT, the closure will allow crews to install storm drain pipes beneath Nassau Road. The department says it is a critical step in the larger infrastructure project to improve safety and traffic flow in the area.
Drivers going north on Route 1 will be directed past Nassau Road before taking a right to return to the road. Drivers going south will turn left onto Nassau Road at the first available intersection. DelDOT urges drivers to use caution in the work zone and plan to allow for minor delays.
The Minos Conaway project includes construction of a new road that will pass under the Nassau Bridge, paving access to New Road and Janice Road. The larger project spans from of Red Mill Pond to the Five Points intersection and includes three roundabouts and multiple new access roads on both sides of Route 1. The closure is expected to remain in effect through the end of October, weather permitting.
