The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announced to motorists mid-week that high friction surface treatment (HFST) will be applied on Gum Road between Roxana Road and Shockley Town Road, necessitating a portion of the road being closed from Wednesday, July 14, at 7 p.m. until 5 a.m. on Thursday, July 15, pending weather.
The treatment is weather-dependent, they emphasized, and the schedule is subject to change.
HFST is designed to give vehicles better traction navigating curves during wet conditions.
A detour from northbound Roxana Road will have motorists turn left on McCary Road and continue onto Frankford School Road and turn left on Shockley Town Road.
