I-495 closed over Christina River

Post by david0mp
I-495 S is closed at the PA border (not sure if this includes the Naaman's Rd exit).
I-495 N is closed at Terminal Avenue.

Not sure what the right procedure is here...

FYI - It sounds like the bridge is supposed to reopen around Labor Day.

It appears it has been updated as "closed" now in the editor -- https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=4&lat ... 20&env=usa

Can someone verify that this is indeed the case? I know tiles have not yet been updated, so technically Waze will still route people that direction. Just want to be sure it has been noticed--this will likely be a long(er) term closure, as DelDOT basically said "indefinitely". Fairly big problem :\

Just drove by today. It appears all ramps are reopened and signed have been removed indicating detour routes.

Requesting all restrictions be removed. Amazing that they got this done so quickly!
