The northbound I-95 on- and off-ramps will remain open at Exit 118 during the paving work.
Travelers at the Route 1, Mudd Tavern Road and Morris Road intersection in Thornburg will encounter brief delays for overnight road work Sunday-Thursday. Motorists will be directed through the intersection by a flagging crew assisted by law enforcement.

Construction to build several road-improvement projects in Thornburg began in February 2023. The projects are scheduled for completion later this moth.
Two projects are being built through a single construction contract. A $25.7 million project is widening Mudd Tavern to four lanes between I-95 and just west of Route 1. At the same time, crews are building a $9.1 million project that created Route 2092, a new secondary road parallel to Mudd Tavern that will intersect with Dan Bell Lane and South Roxbury Mill Road.
When the project is finished, Mudd Tavern will have a roundabout about halfway between I-95 and Route 1 to provide access for travelers seeking Route 2092.
Route 2092 will be a two-lane road and will improve connections between several properties north of Mudd Tavern. Another roundabout will control traffic at the access road’s midpoint.
About 15,000 vehicles a day travel between Route 1 and I-95 on Mudd Tavern.
