Kent County Intersection to Become All-Way Stop Next Week

Drivers in Kent County, Delaware, will encounter a new traffic pattern at the intersection of Sorghum Mill Road and Cypress Branch Road as the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) converts it to an all-way stop next week.

The change, scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. – weather permitting – aims to improve safety and optimize traffic flow at the location. Crews will be installing new signage and pavement markings during the work period. This modification comes as DelDOT continues its efforts to reduce accidents at intersections across the state, a growing concern for local commuters.

Flaggers will be present to direct motorists through the intersection while the installation is underway, and officials are urging drivers to reduce speed, remain vigilant for workers, and adhere to all posted instructions. For those planning travel in the area, real-time traffic conditions can be checked on the DelDOT Traffic Center. Further details about this and other projects are available on the DelDOT website.

DelDOT officials stated that the all-way stop is expected to create more predictable movements and reduce the risk of collisions. Motorists should anticipate potential delays during the installation period and plan accordingly.
