No reassurance shield as Highway 896 enters Delaware after clipping the northeast corner of the Old Line State.
Location: New London Rd and Hopkins Rd, New Castle Cty
Reassurance shield a half mile later after our first real intersection in DE.
Location: New London Rd and Wedgewood Rd, New Castle Cty
Reassurance shield as we approach the city of Newark.
Location: New London Rd and Evergreen Ln, Newark
Welcome to Newark!
Location: New London Rd and Hillside Rd, Newark
As we enter Newark, things get kind of confusing with one ways. Turn left here to stay on 896 south, though that is not signed. The road facing us is 896 north, however.
Location: Hillside Rd and W Main St, Newark
A block later, we’ll approach Highway 273.
Location: Hillside Rd and W Main St, Newark
Turn right for 273 west towards Maryland. Turn left for 273 east and 896 south towards I-95. 896 north doesn’t run concurrent with this stretch of 273.
Location: Hillside Rd and W Main St, Newark
At the same intersection, we’re reminded to turn left for 896 south.
Location: W Main St and Hillside Rd, Newark
No reassurance shield after the turn as 896 south joins 273 east. 896 north does not do the same, and its split from 273 is visible in the distance.
Location: W Main St and S Main St, Newark
A couple blocks later, keep right for 273 east/896 south towards I-95. At this point, 896 north is to the left of here and 273 west is straight ahead. Both of those routes are one-way. This whole segment is on one page, instead of two (as normally occurs on this website with concurrencies) because the connection from 273 west to 896 north involves no concurrency at all.
Location: S Main St and Delaware Ave, Newark
Turn left for 273 east. Stay straight to follow 896 to I-95.
W to MD-273/MD State Line, E to DE 2/DE 72
