TRAFFIC ALERT - Sussex County - Closure of Cedar Creek Drawbridge (on SR36 east of Milford)
Closure of Cedar Creek Drawbridge
DelDOT announces the extended closure of the Cedar Creek Drawbridge (on SR36 east of Milford) to vehicle traffic due to a mechanical failure. The bridge was able to be manually opened to allow marine traffic to pass through and remains open which does require vehicles to utilize a detour route. The bridge will remain in the open position to ensure marine traffic is not impacted while the extent of the repairs is determined.
Vehicle Traffic Detour to Slaughter Beach: SR 36 closed at Lighthouse Rd and Bay Ave. Local traffic should access Slaughter Beach from Slaughter Beach Rd only.
SR1 Southbound: Continue along SR 1 SB and make a left onto Slaughter Beach Rd (SR 36) then continue Down Slaughter Beach Rd and take access to Bay Rd north or south.
SR1 Northbound: SR 1 NB make an early right onto Slaughter Beach Rd (SR 36) then access onto Bay Rd north or south.
The detour for vehicles going to Slaughter Beach can be seen in the attached graphic.
