SR 37 angles northeast from SR 273 (Christiana Road) along Airport Road between the Whitehall, Stratford and Coventry subdivisions to intersect SR 58 (Churchmans Road). Airport Road expands into a four lane arterial from there along the northwest side of New Castle County Airport (ILG) to Commons Boulevard. Airport Road branches north as a local road to SR 141 (Newport Freeway), while Commons Boulevard winds east through the New Castle Corporate Commons business park. SR 37 concludes at SR 141 (Basin Road) across from Basin Road Industrial Park.
SR 37 was commissioned in 1985, following the completion of Commons Boulevard from Airport Road east to Basin Road. The state route was designated around the same time as SR 58 to the west of then Greater Wilmington Airport (ILG).
