DelDOT recently announced that Middletown’s Silver Lake Road would be closed for months beginning in February.
Silver Lake Road between Noxontown Road and the entrance to Middletown High School was closed last Wednesday and is expected to reopen to traffic on June 25, 2021, pending weather.
DelDOT officials said the road closure is necessary for repairs to the Silver Lake dam.
