Rush hour + proximity to 65 & 70 on-ramps is causing headaches for drivers as Delaware remains closed. Lots of honking/yelling/cutting in. pic.twitter.com/dvDh39pyQP

I should point out- IMPD has not added patrols to their response from what I can tell. Possible indicator suspicious package is okay. https://t.co/pcXwCZuSRo
