Northbound - State Road to Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania
Known as the Dupont Highway or Parkway from Wilmington to the Maryland state line,
U.S. 13 composes the longest signed highway within the state of Delaware. U.S. 13 enters the state
north of Salisbury, Maryland at the town of Delmar. From there the federal highway continues northward
to Seaford, Laurel, Greenwood, Harrington, Camden, Dover, Smyrna, Odessa, Wilmington, and Claymont.
The federal highway crosses the Pennsylvania state line via Philadelphia Pike into Marcus Hook,
Pennsylvania. U.S. 13 varies between four to six lanes throughout the entire state.

U.S. 40 & 13 reassurance shield assembly on the Dupont Highway northbound after the federal routes merge. For the most part the five-mile overlap of U.S. 13 & 40 between State Road and Farnhurst is referred to as just simply "U.S. 13" by Delawareans. In fact the assembly here is a rare example where U.S. 40 is actually acknowledged on the eight-lane highway. By 2005, the U.S. 13 shield was replaced. Photo taken 05/00. |
 |
U.S. 13 & 40 undulate through a valley between State Road and junction Delaware 273 (Christiana Road west / Frenchtown Road east) at Hares Corner. Delaware 273 crosses DuPont Highway at one of the wider intersections in Delaware, traveling east from the Christiana area to New Castle. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Trucks bound for New Castle by way of Delaware 9 are routed westward from the coastal route along Hamburg Road west to U.S. 13 north and back to Delaware 9 via Delaware 273 (Frenchtown Road) east. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Runway lights from the adjacent New Castle County Airport span the U.S. 13 & 40 (DuPont Highway) intersection with Delaware 273 at Hares Corner. These lights only activate during airplane approaches, so distractions to drivers below are minimal. Delaware 273 represents a busy four-lane arterial leading west all the way into downtown Newark. Frenchtown Road carries the state route a short distance to its end at Delaware 9 in New Castle. Photo taken 05/15/05. |

U.S. 13-40-301 triplex shield assembly on the Dupont Highway northbound. The location of this shield assembly appears to be either at State Road where U.S. 40/301 merged onto U.S. 13 north, or just beyond that location at the Delaware 273 intersection at Hare's Corner. This overlap continued to be signed until 1993 when U.S. 301 relocated westward to Delaware 896 between Mt. Pleasant and Glasgow. Photo taken by Michael Summa (1969). |

U.S. 13 northbound reassurance shield posted on the Dupont Highway after its intersection with Delaware 273 (Christiana Road) at Hare's Corner. The New Castle County Airport runway system lies to the west of the eight-lane divided highway. Photo taken 12/18/04. |
 |
 |
Approach overhead for the exit-only lane of U.S. 13 north & U.S. 40 east (Dupont Highway) to U.S. 202 north & Delaware 141 (Basin Road). Sign replacements unfortunately did not withstood the elements on this particular overhead as part of the facing was missing. It is unclear why the original facing was covered when it still was in good condition. A new overhead replaced the assembly by 2006. Photos taken 12/18/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
A signalized intersection with School Lane, the New Castle County Airport, and Pencader Shopping Center exists midway between junction Delaware 273 and U.S. 202 & Delaware 141 (Basin Road) on U.S. 13 & 40. Pictured here is a northbound reassurance shield for U.S. 13 after the School Lane intersection. Photo taken 12/18/04. |

U.S. 13 north & 40 east at Hare's Corner adjacent to New Castle County Airport. The busy area is home to the New Castle Farmer's Market and outdoor flea market as well as several car dealerships. The Dupont Highway maintains six to eight lanes through the stretch on the approach to the U.S. 202 southern terminus cloverleaf interchange with Delaware 141 (Basin Road). The overheads at the Basin Road interchange were replaced during the Fall of 2004. Photos taken 04/24/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
A collector/distributor lane departs U.S. 13 & 40 northbound for Delaware 141 and U.S. 202 (Basin Road). The cloverleaf interchange features businesses within the three loop ramps and is not a standard high speed connection. There is no loop ramp for Delaware 141 northbound to U.S. 13 south & 40 west. Traffic departing for Delaware 141 southbound reaches Delaware 9 and the city of New Castle in 1.5 miles. Note the missing down arrow on the replacement U.S. 202 & Delaware 141 northbound panel. Photos taken 03/27/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
The northbound beginning of U.S. 202 departs the Dupont Highway. U.S. 202 originally ended at the U.S. 13 & 40 junction with Interstate 295 at Farnhurst. In December of 1984 the federal highway saw relocation from the in-city routing through Wilmington to Interstate 95 and Basin Road. U.S. 202 and Delaware 141 follow Basin Road northbound for approximately two miles before splitting. Photos taken 03/27/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
Delaware 141 & U.S. 202 northbound shield assembly on the Dupont Highway c/d roadway for Basin Road. Delaware 141 composes the main north-south arterial between the city of Newport and city of New Castle. The four-lane divided highway becomes the Newport Freeway at Interstate 95. Photo taken 04/24/04. |
 |
A Delaware 41 trailblazer resides at the beginning of the northbound loop ramp for U.S. 202 & Delaware 141. Delaware 41 predated Delaware 141 and U.S. 202 along the Basin Road route between Newport and New Castle. The highway saw truncation in the late 1970s when the Newport Freeway was built. Delaware 41 begins at the Exit 6 interchange of the freeway at Prices Corner. Photo taken 04/24/04. |
 |
The last Interstate 295 Delaware shield found in the state of Delaware was located on U.S. 13 & 40 at the Lincoln Drive intersection and pedestrian crossing north of the Basin Road cloverleaf interchange. The trailblazer saw replacement in 2001 with a neutered 3-di width shield for Interstate 295. Photo taken 12/09/99. |
 |
The replacement of the 1958 MUTCD specifications trailblazer for Interstate 295 at Lincoln Avenue near Wilmington Manor. The shield directs motorists entering U.S. 13 north & 40 east (Dupont Highway) from the U.S. 202 & Delaware 141 (Basin Road) interchange. The traffic signal beyond the pedestrian over crossing serves the residential street of Lincoln Avenue and the campus of Wilmington College. Photo taken 08/31/04. |
 |
The first in a series of sign bridges for the impending split of U.S. 40 from the U.S. 13 and the Dupont Highway. The upcoming junction sees U.S. 40 join Interstate 295 northbound to cross the Delaware Memorial Bridge into the state of New Jersey. The congested stretch between here and Interstate 295 (Farnhurst) features a signalized intersection with Bouldon Boulevard. The traffic light is the culprit for numerous delays during the peak hours of traffic. Photo taken 05/19/07. |
 |
New sign bridges were installed along U.S. 13 & 40 for the Farnhurst interchange with Interstate 295 between 2001 and 2003. DelDOT completed an interchange reconstruction project between that time span that saw the elimination of the U.S. 13 southbound ramp to Interstate 295 north. The Interstate 295 southbound ramp to U.S. 13 south & 40 west was adjusted onto a new alignment as well. Photo taken 03/27/04. |
 |
The ramp to Interstate 295 from the Dupont Highway northbound is heavily used. Traffic is given the choice between Interstate 295 north & U.S. 40 eastbound for the Delaware Memorial Bridge or Interstate 295 southbound for Interstate 95. Motorists destined for Interstate 495 are advised to continue north. The interchange represents the near culmination of the U.S. 13 trek up the Delmarva Peninsula between the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and the Delaware Memorial Bridge & New Jersey Turnpike. Photo taken 03/27/04. |

A look at the original sign assembly at the U.S. 13 northbound ramp for Interstate 295 & U.S. 40 east. This location marks the historic northern terminus of U.S. 301 and the historic southern terminus of U.S. 202. The sign stems from the U.S. 301 overlap to Interstate 295, but is after the U.S. 202 truncation to north Wilmington. The space allocation on the left-hand panel most likely displayed U.S. 202 north as well. U.S. 301 was truncated back to Glasgow by 1993. The right-hand panel lasted until about 1992 before it was replaced. The ramp to the right begins now carries two lanes for Interstate 295 north & U.S. 40 east and Interstate 295 south. Photo taken by Michael Summa (1973). |
 |
The interchange construction project of 2001-2003 results in a new left-hand turn lane from U.S. 13 southbound onto the U.S. 13 & 40 northbound on-ramp to Interstate 295. The former direct ramp from the Dupont Highway southbound onto the left-hand side of Interstate 295 north & U.S. 40 eastbound was removed. Traffic taking Interstate 295 northbound crosses the Delaware Memorial Bridge in three miles and reaches the New Jersey Turnpike in five miles. Photo taken 03/27/04. |
 |
An older set of signs remain in place at the U.S. 13 northbound ramp split for Interstate 295 north & U.S. 40 east and Interstate 295 south. Traffic utilizing the right-hand ramp merges onto the left-hand side of Interstate 295 southbound ahead of the junction with Interstate 95. Motorists utilizing this ramp have the opportunity for both Interstate 95 north and south, Interstate 495 north, and the Delaware 141 Newport Freeway. U.S. 40 meanwhile merges onto Interstate 295 northbound to the left. Photo taken 03/27/04. |
 |
A new u-turn ramp was built for the Interstate 295 northbound ramp to U.S. 13 northbound for motorists wishing to access U.S. 13 southbound. The reasoning behind the ramp stems from the fact that commuter traffic oftentimes uses the Interstate 95 southbound ramp to Interstate 295 northbound to reach the Dupont Highway southbound. Unfortunately the left-hand merge onto Interstate 295 northbound occurs just ahead of the southbound off-ramp for U.S. 13 & U.S. 40 west on the right. Therefore drivers wishing to exit onto the Dupont Highway southbound were forced to cross three lanes of travel in a short span. The U-turn lane at Lovelace Avenue allows commuters to use the northbound off-ramp to turn around onto southbound safely. Underneath the bridge here is the relocated Interstate 295 south & U.S. 40 westbound ramp to U.S. 13 south. Photo taken 03/19/04. |

 |
U.S. 13 enters the community of Minquadale between the Interstate 295 interchange at Farnhurst and the Interstate 495 interchange south of Wilmington. Five sets of signals exist on the Dupont Highway between the two freeways. Depicted here is the first guide sign for the Interstate 495 junction and the traffic signal at Wildel Avenue and Marsh Lane. This suite of photos displays results of a sign replacement project. Photos taken 03/19/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
Northbound at the intersection with Memorial Drive in Minquadale. Memorial Drive provides an east-west arterial between U.S. 13 and Delaware 9 (New Castle Avenue). An older set of overheads remain in place indicting that the right-hand lane becomes exit-only for Interstate 495 northbound. There is no direct access between U.S. 13 north and Interstate 495 south. Photos taken 03/19/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
Traffic to Interstate 495 northbound leaves U.S. 13 northbound. Interstate 495 provides a six-lane bypass for the city of Wilmington. U.S. 13 intersects the freeway at three of the six interchanges. The traffic signal ahead allows southbound motorists access to Interstate 495 northbound and Interstate 495 southbound drivers access to U.S. 13 northbound. The short connector ramps were built in 2000 to expand the functionality of the Exit 1 interchange of Interstate 495. Photos taken 03/19/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
U.S. 13 splits with U.S. 13 Business (Market Street) at the north end of the Dupont Highway at Interstate 495. U.S. 13 Business follows Market Street into downtown Wilmington to the left. U.S. 13 turns northeasterly onto Heald Street into the South Bridge neighborhood of the city. Until the late 1970s, U.S. 13 followed the Business route through the city. U.S. 13 east of the city was U.S. 13 Alternate. The two route merge together at Claymont ten miles or so to the north. Photos taken 03/19/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
 |
Attached to the southbound off-ramp of Interstate 495 to U.S. 13 are the overheads for the U.S. 13 & 13 Business northbound partition. The Dupont Highway ends here. U.S. 13 remains with four lanes into the eastern reaches of the city. The federal highway features the control point of Edgemoor. Guide signs here predate the 1989 opening of the Exit 4 interchange of Interstate 495 with Delaware 3 at Edgemoor. Thus for motorists destined for the Edgemoor area it is quicker and safer to use Interstate 495 instead. Photos taken 03/19/04 & 05/19/07. |
 |
Immediately after split with U.S. 13 Business, U.S. 13 (Heald Street) intersects Rogers Road. Rogers Road travels southwest from adjacent U.S. 13 Business (Market Street) over Interstate 495 to Delaware 9 (New Castle Avenue). Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
U.S. 13 (Heald Street) northbound at Garashes Lane in the Southbridge section of Wilmington. Garashes Lane provides a connector between Heald Street and Market Street (U.S. 13 Business) through industrial areas of south Wilmington. Ahead U.S. 13 ascends across the Paul Livingston Bridge. The span crosses over the former Shellpot Branch freight secondary of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Photo taken 08/31/04. |
 |
U.S. 13 descends from the Paul Livingston Bridge into the residential area of Southbridge. Here the northbound component of U.S. 13 turns east onto D Street to join Delaware 9 along New Castle Avenue northbound. Heald Street carries southbound U.S. 13 between Lobdell Street and D Street otherwise. Photo taken 08/31/04. |
 |
D Street moves U.S. 13 northbound one block to the east to junction Delaware 9 (New Castle Avenue). New Castle Avenue carries two-way traffic south from here to Interstate 295 and the town of New Castle. North of D Street, New Castle Avenue flows northbound only carrying both U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 to Heald Street. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
D Street carries U.S. 13 northbound from Heald Street one block east onto Delaware
9 northbound (New Castle Avenue) in the South Bridge neighborhood of Wilmington. From here the two routes overlap for five blocks on the one-way street couplet of New Castle Avenue (northbound) and Heald Street (southbound). Photo taken 04/04/04. |
 |
Many old mast arm traffic light assemblies remain in the South Bridge section of the city along U.S. 13 & Delaware 9. Pictured here is one such assembly at the intersection of New Castle Avenue with C Street. Photo taken 04/04/04. |
 |
One block to the north of C Street is the signalized intersection with B Street. The alphabet series of streets in Wilmington exists south of the Christina River. B, C, and D street are short roadways in South Bridge alone. E, F, and G Streets were planned but never built. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
 |
Newer signals were fitted onto the mast arms for A Street at the intersection with New Castle Avenue. By 2005, the U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 mast-arm assembly was replaced itself. A Street provides the main east-west surface arterial between Market Street (U.S. 13 Business) and Christina Avenue (Delaware 9A) in South Bridge. Photos taken 04/04/04 & 05/15/05. |
 |
 |
New Castle Avenue merges onto Heald Street at the intersection with Lobdell Street. U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 follow the four-lane Heald Street northward from South Bridge to the Christina River crossing into the East Side neighborhood of the city. Span wire supported traffic lights replaced the original mast-arms by 2005. Photos taken 04/04/04 & 05/15/05. |
 |
Approaching the northern terminus of Delaware 9A (Christina Avenue) on U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 northbound (Heald Street). Delaware 9A provides a loop from Delaware 9 via Christina Avenue and Terminal Avenue for the Port of Wilmington. The state highway sees a partial cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 495 along Terminal Avenue. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
 |
U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 (Heald Street) northbound at Delaware 9A (Christina Avenue). Christina Avenue was once a busier road leading Wilmington area motorists to a Ferry terminal along the Delaware River. Ferry service used to carry cars and trucks across the Delaware River to Penns Grove, New Jersey. When the Delaware Memorial Bridge opened to traffic in 1951 the ferry service ceased. Christina Avenue carried Delaware 48 eastward from Lancaster Avenue to the ferry until that time. The route received its number from the New Jersey 48 counterpart in Penns Grove. However with the ferry crossing no longer in place Delaware 48 saw truncation westward back to Market Street. The second photo shows the missing shields replaced and the original mast-arm signals replaced with a span wire assembly. Photos taken 04/04/04 & 05/15/05. |
 |
Missing reassurance shields for U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 at the Christina River bridge were replaced by 2005 as well. The tandem turn westward to cross the intrastate waterway. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
A four-lane draw bridge carries U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 across the Christina River into East Side Wilmington. Here Heald Street ends and Fourth Street begins. Photo taken 04/04/04. |
 |
The only intact set of U.S. 13 & Delaware 9 reassurance shields resides at the north end of the Christina River Bridge. The two highways however part ways at the upcoming intersection with Church Street. Photo taken 04/04/04. |
 |
U.S. 13 north departs Delaware 9 to the right onto Church Street at the Amtrak overpass adjacent to Christina Park. Delaware 9 remains on Fourth Street westward through the central business district en route to its conclusion at Delaware 2 (Union Street) in the Hill Top neighborhood of the city. U.S. 13 splits between the one-way couplet of Church Street (northbound) and Spruce Street (southbound) between Fourth Street and Eleventh Street. Delaware 9 intersects Spruce Street in one block. Photo taken 04/04/04. |
 |
Three blocks north of the split with Delaware 9, U.S. 13 (Church Street) intersects 7th Street with a set of older mast-arm traffic lights. 7th Street flows east from downtown into the area known as the 7th Street Peninsula between Brandywine Creek and Christina River. The peninsula is home to Fort Christina Park and the Kalmar Nyckel Shipyard and Museum. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
8th Street crosses U.S. 13 (Church Street) north, carrying drivers west from the 7th Street Peninsula to downtown. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
U.S. 13 transitions from Church Street into the two-way Northeast Boulevard at Kirkwood Park and 12th Street. Kirkwood Park acts as a southbound gateway from U.S. 13 south and 12th Street west from Interstate 495. U.S. 13 south follows 12th Street one block west to Spruce Street south. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
An old bascule bridge, designated the State Representative Dr. Al O. Plant, Sr. Bridge, carries U.S. 13 (Northeast Boulevard) over the Brandywine Creek. Since boat traffic is no longer an issue for the bridge, the draw spans were fused shut. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
The Brandywine Creek separates split segments of 12th Street. 12th Street west becomes a major route to Interstate 95 through the business district south of the creek. North of the creek, 12th Street east provides the main route to Interstate 495 and Gander Hill Prison from downtown Wilmington. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Likely the oldest trailblazer for Interstate 495 posted within the state of Delaware. 12th Street was extended east to meet Interstate 495 at a diamond interchange in 1979. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Newer mast-arm supported traffic lights govern the movements between U.S. 13 (Northeast Boulevard) in Wilmington's Eastlawn area. Vandever Avenue connects Northeast Boulevard with Delaware 202's (Concord Avenue) south end at U.S. 13 Business (Market Street). It is not a part of Delaware 202 however. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Another Northeast Boulevard traffic light resides at the U.S. 13 intersection with 26th Street. 26th Street, Vandever Avenue, and 30th Street represent the only two-way streets between North Market Street and Northeast Boulevard in Eastlawn Wilmington. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
 |
Old 42" Eagle signals at the intersection of Northeast Boulevard and 30th Street, replaced by 2005 with newer models. 30th Street represents the last through street between U.S. 13 Business (Market Street) and Northeast Boulevard in the city. Northeast Boulevard carries five lanes through the Eastlawn section of the city. Photos taken 07/01 & 05/15/05. |

Economic despair sets the tone for U.S. 13 (Governor Printz Boulevard) on the approach to junction Delaware 3 (Edgemoor Road) near Edgemoor. The decaying Merchants Square Shopping Center resides along the southbound side frontage between Edgemoor Road and Lea Boulevard. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
U.S. 13 (Governor Printz Boulevard) northbound at Delaware 3 (Edgemoor Road). Delaware 3 meets Governor Printz Boulevard adjacent to the partial-cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 495 (Exit 4). Delaware 3 otherwise follows Edgemoor and Marsh Roads north toward Bellefonte and the Brandywine Hundred area. Photo taken 05/15/05. |
 |
Northbound on Governor Printz Boulevard in the community of Edgemoor at the Exit 4 partial cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 495. The junction opened to traffic in 1989 allowing motorists from Delaware 3 (Edgemoor Road) and U.S. 13 access to the Wilmington Bypass. East of the freeway is Fox Point State Park and the Dupont Industrial complex. Photo taken 03/20/04. |
 |
Leaving the confluence of Interstate 495 and Delaware 3 at Edgemoor on U.S. 13 northbound. Governor Printz Boulevard sees four lanes and a grassy median on the stretch between Edgemoor and Claymont. Interstate 495 parallels the federal highway closely on the northbound side. Photo taken 08/18/05. |
 |
U.S. 13 northbound at Cauffiel Parkway. The two-lane Cauffiel Parkway opened in 2000 to provide access between Governor Printz Boulevard and the Philadelphia Pike (U.S. 13 Business). The roadway passes through a natural area between the two arterials, allowing through traffic an alternative to the many residential streets that connect the two highways otherwise. Photo taken 08/18/05. |
 |
Further north along Governor Printz Boulevard near the Sunset Drive intersection. Many of the streets connecting U.S. 13 with Philadelphia Pike have traffic calming devices in use to dissuade travelers from using them. This is why Cauffiel Parkway was built. Photo taken 05/15/05. |

U.S. 13 beyond the turn from Governor Printz Boulevard in Claymont. Philadelphia Pike, formerly known as Wilmington Post Road, features five overall lanes between the city of Wilmington and community of Claymont. The surface arterial travels through older suburbs of Wilmington between Edgemoor Road (Delaware 3) and the Pennsylvania state line. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
The first of several traffic lights U.S. 13 encounters along Philadelphia Pike in Claymont. Intersecting the pike here is Seminole Avenue from the left and Wiltshire Road from the right. The two roads serve the suburban areas adjacent to U.S. 13. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Another set of older signals remains at the intersection of U.S. 13 (Philadelphia Pike) and Manor Avenue. The regionally famous Claymont Steak Shop resides along Philadelphia Pike between Wiltshire Road and Manor Avenue. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Philadelphia Pike northbound at the intersection of Darley Road and Myrtle Avenue. Darley Avenue provides a through route between U.S. 13 and Delaware 92 (Naamans Road) to the west. Myrtle Avenue serves the SEPTA (Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority) Regional
Rail Station (R2 Line) at Claymont. Photo taken 04/10/04. |

U.S. 13 enters the Exit 5 partial cloverleaf interchange of Interstate 495 north of Darley Road & Myrtle Avenue. Depicted here is the southbound on-ramp for Interstate 495. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Interstate 495 northbound ends and merges onto Interstate 95 northbound one half mile to the northwest of Exit 5. Therefore the guide sign for the Interstate 495 northbound on-ramp reflects Interstate 95 instead. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Northbound at the Interstate 495 northbound off and on-ramps. Motorists entering the freeway will reach Interstate 476 in eight miles and the city of Philadelphia in 17 miles. Ahead U.S. 13 reduces to four lanes through the CitiSteel Industrial area. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Just north of the Interstate 495 interchange is the signalized intersection with Alcott Avenue. Alcott Avenue serves an adjacent apartment complex. Philadelphia Pike narrows underneath the CitiSteel railroad overpass and crosses another set of tracks beyond there. Photo taken 04/10/04. |
 |
Leaving the CitiSteel plant area on the approach to Delaware 92 (Naamans Road). Naamans Road is a primary arterial linking Claymont with the U.S. 202 corridor through Brandywine Hundred. The eastern most reaches of the state route serve primarily industrial and trucking interests to/from Interstate 95 and U.S. 13. Photo taken 10/10/01. |
