The road begins as a four-lane highway at Delaware Route 9 just past the I-495 underpass north of the I-295/US 40 interchange at the Delaware Memorial Bridge, crossing underneath of I-495 less than ¼ mi. east of the road's terminus. Past I-495, the road, still four lanes, then crosses over Norfolk Southern's (former Penn Central and Conrail) Delmarva Branch at a grade crossing before making a sharp left turn at the entrance to the Port of Wilmington.
