I found that the article for Robert W Kirkwood Highway, which composes a part of Delaware Route 2, is a very short article. It would be better if the information from that article can be presented here in the Delaware Route 2 article. It makes sense in the same manner that the information for the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway, which composes a part of Delaware Route 1, is included in the Delaware Route 1 article.

Wilmington Avenue bridge over railroad in Elsmere

[edit]

In the History section, it says that that bridge was 2 lanes and was expanded to 4 lanes in late 1980s. I'm previously from northern Delaware, and I thought the 4-lane bridge went back further than that; DE 2 westbound became 4 lanes when the split (due to 1-way streets in Wilmington) ended. I don't know when the bridge was built, so I am writing here in the discussion page instead of changing the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:17, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

no Delaware 279 signs yet?

[edit]

I just drove the now-shortened DE 2 yesterday. If, in MARYLAND, you turn left at the end of Fletchwood Road, a sign points the way for northbound MD 279, which hits the state line almost immediately. A Newark Post article referred to DE 279 (which is to be that part of Elkton Road which is otherwise left without a route number due to shortening of DE 2), but I found no DE 279 signs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 17:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

map is now out of date

[edit]

The map is still showing DE 2 reaching the Maryland border. It is not, at this writing, accounting for shortening of DE 2 (which is now ending where it reaches DE 273 in eastern part of Newark). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 17:59, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
