Report

Labor Day 2026 in Delaware

What the DelDOT feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Delaware

I-95 crosses about 23 miles of Delaware but carries the whole East Coast through-traffic stream past Wilmington. DE-1 is the state's toll road, the main run south toward Dover and the beach towns. US-13 is the old north-south spine down the length of the state. I-295 and I-495 handle the Delaware Memorial Bridge approach and the Wilmington bypass.

What the season does to Delaware's highways

Delaware's seasonal story is the beach run. DE-1 south to Rehoboth and the coast fills up every summer weekend, and coastal storms flood the low shore routes. The state is also drawbridge country along its canals and inlets, and a span opening for boat traffic can stop a beach-bound line cold. DelDOT publishes where its plows are only while a snow event is on.

Before a Delaware road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open DelDOT for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Delaware cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-95 corridor page carries alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Delaware.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same DelDOT alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the DelDOT feed held 151 unique reports, including 24 closure reports, 5 crash reports, 84 work-zone reports and 4 weather reports. The routes with the most reports were DE-1, DE-2 and I-95. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Delaware right now?

The map above shows every full closure DelDOT is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open DelDOT.

Where do I check Delaware road conditions?

DelDOT is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same DelDOT feed and adds the Delaware cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the DelDOT feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same DelDOT alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. DelDOT alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
