Delaware toll plaza backed up well past 279
The state's live traffic camera at Route 279 in Cecil County is showing the trafiic backed up well south of that interchange because of traffic coongestion at The Delaware toll plaza. Motorists used to using 279 as a toll plaza bypass should get off Interstate 95 earllier and use Maryland Route 272 south to U.S. 40 east.
As of about 3 p.m. the Delaware Department of Transportation was estimating the delay getting through the tolls at 30 minutes -- and you''ll still pay $4 to wait in line.

Take MD 273. You can get there off of 222, at Exit 93 (Rising Sun) off of I-95. This leads you into downtown Newark. Take 896 past Delaware Stadium, and take I-95 North and it will bypass the toll plaza.
