Dupont Highway
Sussex Highway

US 13 travels the length of the state of Delaware... from Delmar, MD to Marcus Hook, PA.  It takes on many forms as well... from a 6-lane urban boulevard to a 4-lane rural highway.

US 13 allows the traveler to view the agricultural backbone of southern Delaware.  The major thoroughfare of Delaware, US 13 is a vital route to north/south travelers.
