Wreathers from across america can leave a wreath for Fallen Soldiers on their annual trip. Only one good way to get east and west of middletown, right down main street. Ive seen the traffic literally stopped, bumper to bumper. Reporter the town asked deldot to close a few blocks during the holidays at rush hour to let Wreaths Across America to lay a wreath at the memorial, deldot said no. The town more or less said were doing it anyway. It doesnt mean much of anything to me that time of the day is usually a traffic jam anyway. Reporter businesses like middletown hardware dont mind the road shutdown. The town is putting up lights making it into quite an event which is good for this cake shop. Town is on laockdown tonight. For us, its great. People will be stuck here, have to come in and get out the cold. Reporter if youre a worker at the huge Amazon Distribution Center here, youre getting detoured. Remember, its to honor fallen war heroes. Its a good thing, a good cause. Its a good thing. So i think people should be patient, take their time, come through town and realize, hey, its the holidays. Reporter im not sitting in traffic trying to get around a detour, but this is really something to see here. The road is going to reopen about 7 00. A town spokesperson said they did their best to manage the traffic with Police Officers. There are many, many of them here. A certain town higher up told me this is a great event. Everybody was on board. He sort of told me not so many words that whether deldot wanted this to happen or not, it was going to happen if middletown had anything to do with it.

Well start and zoom in in south Sussex County in delaware. Closer to the beaches, some very light rain, but there you see a lot of this coming to an end.
