Delaware Route 15
Delaware Route 15 (DE 15) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Delaware. The route runs from DE 14 west of Milford in Kent County north to DE 71/DE 896 in Summit Bridge, New Castle County, just south of the Summit Bridge over the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. DE 15 winds a path through many rural sections of Delaware, turning along many different roads. Most of the route, with the exception of the southern part of the route from Milford to Canterbury, runs to the west of U.S. Route 13 (US 13). DE 15 serves several cities and towns, including Wyoming, Dover, Clayton, and Middletown. The route intersects DE 12 near Felton, US 13 in Canterbury, DE 10 near Camden, DE 8 in Dover, DE 42 in Seven Hickories, DE 300 and DE 6 in the Clayton area, DE 299 in Middletown, and DE 286 near Summit Bridge.
What is now DE 15 was paved in several stages from the 1930s to the 1960s. By the 1980s, the route was designated between DE 14 in Milford and US 13 in Canterbury. By 1990, it was extended north to US 301/DE 299 near Middletown and then to US 301/DE 71/DE 896 near the Summit Bridge by 1994.
DE 15 begins at an intersection with DE 14 and Holly Hill Road west of the city of Milford in Kent County and proceeds northwest on two-lane undivided Canterbury Road. The road runs through a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes, crossing Ward Branch and then Browns Branch to the east of McCauley Pond. DE 15 has a junction with Carpenter Bridge Road before it heads across the Murderkill River to the east of Coursey Pond. The route intersects DE 12 and heads across Pratt Branch before it runs to the east of Henderson Aviation Airport. DE 15 crosses Hudson Branch and reaches the community of Canterbury, where it passes homes and crosses Irish Hill Road before it comes to an intersection with US 13.
DE 15 turns north to form a concurrency with US 13 for a short distance on the four-lane divided South Dupont Highway before continuing northwest along with US 13 Alt. on two-lane undivided Upper King Road. The road continues through rural land before entering the town of Woodside. Here, US 13 Alt./DE 15 passes homes and intersects DE 10 Alt., with DE 15 splitting from US 13 Alt. by heading west concurrent with DE 10 Alt. on Main Street and crossing the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Subdivision line at-grade.
DE 15 splits from DE 10 Alt. by turning north on Dundee Road, leaving Woodside. The road heads through a mix of farmland, woodland, and residential subdivisions, crossing Tidbury Creek before coming to a roundabout with DE 10, where the road briefly becomes a divided highway. Past this intersection, the route becomes Moose Lodge Road and continues north. DE 15 turns east onto Westville Road and enters the town of Wyoming, where it becomes Southern Boulevard and passes homes and some businesses. The route turns northeast onto South Railroad Avenue and runs immediately to the west of the Delmarva Central Railroad. The road becomes North Railroad Avenue upon intersecting Grant Street west of the former Wyoming station before it leaves Wyoming as it crosses Isaac Branch to the east of Wyoming Lake. At this point, DE 15 becomes Wyoming Mill Road and heads north through agricultural areas away from the railroad tracks. The route has an intersection with Wyoming Mill Spur, which heads east to POW/MIA Parkway. The road continues through farmland with some woods and residential development before entering the city of Dover and curving to the northwest.
Here, DE 15 turns east onto Hazlettville Road and heads into industrial areas, where it becomes West North Street and widens into a four-lane road. At an intersection with the northern terminus of POW/MIA Parkway, the route turns north onto Saulsbury Road, a four-lane divided highway that soon narrows to a two-lane undivided road. The road continues through more commercial areas and comes to an intersection with DE 8, where it is briefly a divided highway. Past this intersection, DE 15 continues north as a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane, coming to a junction with Walker Road. At this intersection, the road briefly gains a median. Past this intersection, the road name changes to McKee Road and it regains a center left-turn lane, running northwest through residential areas with some fields and commercial development. The route turns into a divided highway for a short distance at the College Road intersection before becoming undivided. DE 15 turns west to remain on two-lane undivided McKee Road, with Scarborough Road continuing north to US 13 and the DE 1 toll road. Past Scarborough Road, the route heads northwest near an industrial park before it leaves Dover.
Upon leaving Dover, DE 15 continues through a mix of farmland and woodland with some residential areas, turning southwest onto West Denneys Road and then north onto Kenton Road. The road crosses Fork Branch and curves to the north-northwest, crossing Pearsons Corner Road before reaching an intersection with DE 42 in Moores Corner. At this point, DE 15 turns west to form a concurrency with DE 42 on Seven Hickories Road. In Seven Hickories, DE 15 splits from DE 42 by heading north on Brenford Road. The route splits from Brenford Road and continues northwest on Mount Friendship Road, crossing the Leipsic River before reaching an intersection with DE 300. Here, DE 15 turns northeast for a brief concurrency with DE 300 on Wheatleys Pond Road before it splits by making a turn northwest onto Alley Corner Road. The road crosses Mill Creek and an abandoned railroad line before it comes to an intersection with DE 6. At this point, DE 15 turns east to form a concurrency with DE 6 on Millington Road. On the western edge of the town of Clayton, DE 15 splits from DE 6 by heading northeast on Duck Creek Road, running through residential areas with some industry and passing to the east of the First State Military Academy. The road curves to the north and leaves Clayton.
DE 15 crosses the Providence Creek into New Castle County and the name becomes Clayton Greenspring Road as it passes through farm fields and woods with some homes. The route turns west onto Vandyke Greenspring Road and skirts the southern edge of the Blackbird State Forest, curving to the west-northwest and crossing Blackbird Creek. DE 15 turns north onto Dexter Corner Road before it continues west onto Blackbird Station Road, curving to the northwest. The route crosses the Maryland and Delaware Railroad's Northern Line at-grade before heading across Barlow Branch and turning north at the Ebenezer Church Road intersection to remain along Blackbird Station Road. Upon crossing Caldwell Corner Road, the road name changes to Dogtown Road and it curves to the northwest again. The route runs through agricultural areas, crossing the Appoquinimink River, and turns north-northeast onto Levels Road. DE 15 enters the town of Middletown, passing to the west of a residential neighborhood before turning northwest at a roundabout with St. Annes Church Road and Wallasey Drive to remain on Levels Road and reach an intersection with DE 299.
