🚨 FLOODING & ROAD CLOSURE ADVISORY 🚨

The Ocean View Police Department is urging residents and motorists to use extreme caution due to significant flooding and road closures in the area.

🌊 Current conditions:

Rt. 26 (Atlantic Ave.) has significant standing water just east of the Assawoman Canal in Bethany Beach.

Rt. 1 is CLOSED north of Fred Hudson Road.

Fred Hudson Road is experiencing heavy water.

🚗 Motorists should NOT drive through high water. Even if the roadway appears passable, flood water can conceal hazards, damage roadways, and cause vehicles to lose control.

⚡ Electric vehicle warning: Flood water can pose additional hazards to electric vehicles. Salt water is especially concerning because it is electrically conductive and can increase the risk of electrical hazards and vehicle damage. Do not attempt to drive an EV through flood water.

Please avoid flooded roadways, follow all barricades and closure signs, and allow emergency crews and road personnel room to work.

Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Your safety is more important than getting through a flooded roadway.
