After the turn, we’ll approach DE 1.

Stay straight for 7 north to 1 north, though we’re at 1’s northern terminus so that’s somewhat irrelevant information.

Turn right ahead for DE 7  to I-95, which closely parallels DE 1 north in this big complicated interchange.

Access to I-95 south comes up in 1 mile.

After the I-95 north split, that traffic has the option to follow 95 north to I-495 and I-295. There’s another chance for DE 1/7 traffic to access I-95 north before we get to I-95 south.
