U.S. 13 Delaware – North
Older shield assembly posted at the junction of U.S. 13 (Sussex Highway) north with U.S. 9 (County Seat Highway) east. December 2001
Approaching the original intersection joining U.S. 13 (Sussex Highway) north with SR 404 (Seashore Highway) east and U.S. 13 Busines /SR 404 Business (Main Street) north into Bridgeville.<br /> This sign, which erroneously referenced U.S. 13 Alternate instead of Business, was eventually removed during construction to realign SR 404 and SR 404 Business at U.S. 13. Replacement signs only reference SR 404 Business now. 04/13/04
An intersection with an acute angle brought SR 404 west onto U.S. 13 (Sussex Highway) north for its bypass of Bridgeville. Realignments of both SR 404 to the east and U.S. 13 Business to the west were made in 2008 to bring both roads to U.S. 13 at a 90 degree angle. 04/13/04
Another sign incorrectly referenced U.S. 13 Business as an Alternate route. Prior to 1970 it was U.S. 13 Alt. The bannered route otherwise combines with SR 404 Business for 1.6 miles along Main Street. 04/13/04
Removed mileage sign that was posted north of the SR 404 west merge with U.S. 13 north outside Bridgeville. A reassurance shield assembly for both routes stands along the rebuilt Sussex Highway here now. 04/13/04
The span wire array of traffic lights on U.S. 13 north at Denneys Road in north Dover was replaced with mast arms by 2019. 12/18/16

All but one of the older Eagle signals in use at U.S. 13 and SR 299 in Odessa were replaced by 2012. Mast arm supported signals were installed here in 2013. 05/15/05
This U.S. 13 marker was posted after Delaware 299 until 2008, when it was replaced by an evacuation route trailblazer. That too was taken down by 2014. 05/15/05
U.S. 13 (Dupont Parkway) north at Port Penn Road, 0.75 miles from the left side ramp to SR 1 across the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. This guide sign was replaced with a Clearview Font based panel by 2012. 05/15/05

Reassurance marker posted for U.S. 13 north between Port Penn Road and Scott Run. Ramps with the U.S. 301 toll road were built along side this stretch. 06/17/12
Signs still reflected the temporary routing of U.S. 13 across the Delaware 1 Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Bridge in 2004. 08/10/04
Greenouts were applied to Delaware 1 north signs at South St. Georges by 2005 to reference I-95 in place of U.S. 13. 05/15/05

U.S. 13 turns west from Dupont Parkway to join SR 1 via SR 72 at Wrangle Hill while SR 7 north travels along a portion of the original Dupont Parkway to Bear Corbitt Road. This shield assembly was removed by 2012. 05/15/05

Until 1993, U.S. 301 ran along side U.S. 13 north from Boyds Corner to Farnhurst. This incorporated a three-way overlap with U.S. 40 between State Road and I-295. The location of this shield assembly appears to be either at State Road, or to the north at Hares Corner. 1969
A portion of the 2000 overlay made on the initial guide sign for U.S. 202 and SR 141 (Basin Road) fell off by 2004. A new overhead replaced the assembly by 2006. 12/18/04
