Since Sept. 14, the right lane of Route 1 has been closed. During busier times of the day, traffic has backed up from Red Mill Pond to Hudson Fields and beyond.Crews have removed all the jersey barriers and started to pave the area in preparation of opening the first section of the Minos Conaway Road project. Charles "C.R." McLeod, the Delaware Department of Transportation's director of community relations, said drivers will be traveling on the new Route 1 southbound alignment by the end of the week. The two new roundabouts at Minos Conaway and Janice/New Road connector are expected to open Monday, Oct. 5, but weather over the next two weeks could impact that date, McLeod said. Additionally, when the Minos Conaway Road roundabout opens, there will not be access Route 1 south. Traffic will travel south along the new Janice Road and enter Route 1 on the south side of the Nassau Bridge.More lane closures are on the way.DelDOT recently announced lane closures on southbound and northbound Route 1 between Best Lane and Janice Road will start Monday, Sept. 28, and continue for about three weeks. During this phase, traffic will be shifted toward the outside of the roadway while a temporary barrier wall is installed along the inside shoulder. The work is part of Phase 8, which will reconstruct the median and northbound lanes of Route 1 between the Nassau Bridge and the project limits near Red Mill Pond.Southbound Route 1 lane closures will be in effect between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., and northbound Route 1 closures will be between 7 p.m. and 11 a.m.All median crossovers north of the Nassau Bridge will be closed to Best Lane starting Sept. 28. The Best Lane crossover will stay open for U-turns for drivers wanting to go south. Cave Neck Road has a "No U-Turn" sign.Motorists should use caution when traveling through the work zone and expect minor delays.</div></body>
