A cap over the interstate would be fantastic for those neighborhoods, I don't see it becoming a national park though. Their only referred precedent is the I-395 tunnel under the National Mall in DC, a completely unrelated set of circumstances. Hopefully the push for that pipe dream doesn't become a detriment to getting the project built in the first place.
A mystery to solve...Delaware did not assign state route numbers until the late 1930s. The 1930 and 1932 annual reports talk about the benefit of making an effort to do that.However, this 1924 picture at the original US 13-113 split below Dover clearly shows State route No. 3 heading off to the right (with the DuPont Highway off to the left).Annual reports back to 1917 are available at the Hathi library, but they don't mention route numbers of any kind. Anyone know what's happening here?

When this interchange was rebuilt, it had a sharper curve than before. Vehicles kept flying off the ramp as they were going too fast. That arrow was installed to encourage traffic to slow down.

Part of the project was realigning the ramps for US 13 North and South, but by doing so they created a more dangerous condition than what existed.
DelDOT: TRAFFIC ALERT - Intersection Improvements Will Require the Closure of US 9/East Market StreetThis is part of the Georgetown East Gateway Project.
DelDOT: TRAFFIC ALERT - UPDATED: Closure of Westbound Route 4/Christina Parkway for ReconstructionUS 40 is still open for the shunpikers.
95 South Exit 3: 273 East thru Univ of Delaware to 279.
I personally prefer Walsh Tract Rd. over Chestnut Hill. Its a direct left off of 896 and less hilly.
