    The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) alerts motorists that there will be upcoming closures on I-95 northbound between Route 141 and the I-495 split to prepare for the final traffic shift from the current 4-lane configuration to the permanent 5-lane configuration on I-95 northbound. Closures will also be necessary to repair the bridge deck before the final traffic shift occurs.
