Northbound

Delaware 7 north
	Delaware 7 (Dupont Highway) crosses over the Norfolk-Southern Railroad line at the U.S. 13 & SR 1 Turnpike crossover. The underpass of the freeway is narrow and was thus restriped from four overall lanes to two lanes. Delaware 7 departs the Dupont Highway just north of the crossing for Bear-Corbitt Road. Photo taken 04/17/04.

		Junction Delaware 71 shield and U.S. 13 trailblazer on Delaware 7 (Bear-Corbitt Road) for the intersection with Red Lion Road in Red Lion itself. Delaware 71 (Red Lion Road) ends 1.2 miles to the northeast at Tybouts Corner and junction U.S. 13 (Dupont Highway). Church Road stems from the Delaware 7 & 71 confluence northwestward to U.S. 40 (Pulaski Highway) as well. Photos taken 04/17/04.
		Delaware 71 crosses Delaware 7 (Bear-Corbitt Road) at a sharp angle. The state highway at one point was part of the split routing of U.S. 301 between State Road and Mt. Pleasant. U.S. 301 utilized all of Red Lion Road and overlaps with Delaware 896 (Summit Bridge Road) and U.S. 13 (Dupont Highway) as well. The locally famous Santa Claus Lane resides just one quarter mile to the right. A Red Lion resident decorates his house with over 1,000,000 million Christmas lights every season. The attraction draws enough visitors that DelDOT actually posts construction barrels along Red Lion Road for on-street parking. The owner requested to have his driveway named Santa Clause Lane and DelDOT obliged complete with the posting of a green street sign. Photos taken 04/17/04.

	U.S. 40 shields at the congested intersection of Delaware 7 (Bear-Corbitt Road) and the Pulaski Highway at Bear. The busy crossing is fronted by shopping centers on three of four corners and several hundred single family homes. Additionally the Exit 160 interchange of the SR 1 Turnpike ties into U.S. 40 nearby. Photo taken 04/17/04.
Overlap with Delaware 1 North
	North of the SR 1 Turnpike, Delaware 7 returns to grade and intersects the frontage road AAA Boulevard and old Delaware 7. AAA Boulevard extends the frontage road from Delaware 58 and Delaware Technical Community College northward to Delaware 7 (Stanton Christiana Road). To the left is access to old Delaware 7. Photo taken 03/23/04.
	New sign bridges were installed for the Delaware 7 (Stanton Christiana Road) merge with Delaware 4 (Ogletown Stanton Road) during the 1996-99 reconstruction of the highway between Interstate 95 & Delaware 1 and AAA Boulevard. Delaware 4 enters the scene via a four-lane highway from Delaware Park and Christiana Hospital to the west. Photo taken 08/31/04.
	Large Delaware 4 shields are posted at the junction of Delaware 7 with Ogletown Stanton Road. An office park entrance ties into the intersection from the right. Photo taken 03/23/04.

	Delaware 4 & 7 share pavement for 1.2 miles between Ogletown Stanton Road and Limestone Road at Stanton. The overlap consists of a six-lane expressway over the AMTRAK Northeastern corridor and White Clay Creek. Old Delaware 4 & 7 travel Old Stanton Christiana Road to the east. Photo taken 04/03/04.
	A second set of Delaware 4 & 7 reassurance shields along their overlap resides just past the north access road to the old Stanton-Christiana Road. Old Stanton-Christiana Road remains in use for local access to the east of the six-lane viaduct of new Delaware 4 & 7. Photo taken 08/31/04.
	A pair of intersections exist along the final stretch of Delaware 4 east & 7 north before their split. The first intersection involves Delaware Park Boulevard and the east entrance to the Delaware Park Racetrack and Slots facility. The second signal exists at the south end of St. James Church Road, a local road connecting Delaware 4 & 7 with Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway) and Old Capitol Trail (old Delaware 2). Photo taken 08/31/04.

Entering the village of Stanton on Delaware 4 east & 7 northbound (Stanton Christiana Road). The two highways prepare to part ways for Newport and the Pike Creek Valley respectively. Photos taken 05/01/05 & 04/03/04.

	Delaware 7 turns northward via Limestone Road to junction Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway) and the Pike Creek Valley. Delaware 4 splits between the one-way couplet of Main Street (westbound) and Mitch Road (eastbound) through Stanton to the town of Newport. Both roadways feature four overall travel lanes. Photo taken 04/03/04.
	Limestone Road curves northward from Delaware 4 (Mitch Road) east in Stanton. Pictured here is the signal assembly at Delaware 4 (Main Street) westbound and Delaware 7 (Limestone Road) southbound ramp to Mitch Road east. Photo taken 04/03/04.
	Delaware 7 (Limestone Road) maintains four lanes of concrete between Stanton and the CSX Railroad underpass. The surface arterial serves older subdivisions on the one mile stretch between Delaware 4 and junction Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway). Photo taken 04/03/04.
	Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway) represents a busy east-west arterial between the cities of Newark and Wilmington. The four to six lane highway is fronted by commercial strip malls, apartment complexes, subdivisions, and car dealerships throughout most of the drive between Delaware 72 (Possum Park Road) and town of Elsmere. The roadway is also a busy commuter route and it is not uncommon to find lengthy delays at the Delaware 2 & 7 traffic light. Photo taken 04/03/04.
	Northbound reassurance shield for Delaware 7 (Limestone Road) posted after the intersection with Delaware 72 (Curtis Mill Road). A 1.1-mile segment of Limestone Road between Curtis Mill Road and the Brackenville/Little Baltimore Road intersection saw expansion from two to four lanes between 2000 and 2003. Photo taken 04/17/04.
Scenes pertaining to Delaware 7
	Milltown Road provides an east-west alternative to Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway) between Delaware 7 (Limestone Road) and Duncan Road through residential areas. The road meets Limestone Road at its split with McKennans Church Road at Milltown. Pictured here is Milltown Road westbound approach to both Limestone and McKennans Church Roads. Photo taken 08/05/07.
	Milltown Road westbound expands to three lanes on the approach to Delaware 7. A signalized intersection with McKennans Church Road ties into the adjacent traffic lights at Delaware 7. McKennans Church Road veers northeast from Limestone Road to Delaware 41 (Newport Gap Pike) outside of Hockessin. Photo taken 08/05/07.
	Delaware 7 shield assembly posted between the McKennans Church and Limestone Road intersections. The short stretch of Milltown Road between the two roads provides little space for vehicles to queue, therefore the signals between both intersections are cycled jointly. Photo taken 08/05/07.
	A pair of left-turn lanes onto Delaware 7 (Limestone Road) south are provided due to the influx of vehicles from McKennans Church Road onto Milltown Road west. McKennans Church Road southbound ends at Milltown Road otherwise. Milltown Road west meanwhile continues to Delaware 2 (Kirkwood Highway) outside of Newark. Delaware 7 north continues north through the Pike Creek Valley to Pennsylvania north of Hockessin. Photo taken 08/05/07.
