Delaware Route 10 (DE 10) is a state highway in Kent County, Delaware. It runs from Maryland Route 287 (MD 287) at the Maryland border in Sandtown east to an interchange with DE 1 at the north gate of Dover Air Force Base. The route passes through the towns of Camden and Wyoming along the way. From the Maryland border to Camden, it is a two-lane undivided road that passes through rural areas. DE 10 is a four-lane divided highway called Lebanon Road between U.S. Route 13 (US 13) in Camden and DE 1. DE 10 has one alternate route, DE 10 Alternate (DE 10 Alt.), which provides an alternate alignment between Willow Grove and Lebanon, passing through Woodside and Rising Sun. What is now DE 10 between the Maryland border and Camden was constructed as a state highway in stages in the 1920s and early 1930s. The route was first designated by 1936 to follow its current alignment between the Maryland border and Camden and current Rising Sun Road to US 113 Alt. in Rising Sun. By 1969, DE 10 was rerouted to follow Lebanon Road, a road completed by 1966, to US 113 (now DE 1) at Dover Air Force Base. Lebanon Road was improved into a divided highway by 1981. ==Route description== DE 10 begins at the Maryland border west of Sandtown, where it continues west into that state as MD 287. From the state line the route heads east on two-lane undivided Willow Grove Road through a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes, passing through Sandtown. The road curves northeast and runs through Petersburg before coming to an intersection with the western terminus of DE 10 Alt. DE 10 passes the community of Willow Grove and continues northeast. The route heads through rural areas with increasing residential development and intersects DE 15 before crossing Norfolk Southern's Delmarva Secondary railroad line.〔〔 The road continues north into Camden and passes homes along with some businesses, becoming South Caesar Rodney Avenue at the South Street intersection. DE 10 forms the border between Wyoming to the west and Camden to the east before turning east onto East Camden Wyoming Avenue and fully entering Camden. The route continues through residential areas, intersecting US 13 Alt. in the center of Camden. On the eastern edge of Camden, the road comes to an intersection with US 13. Past the intersection with US 13, DE 10 becomes Lebanon Road, a four-lane divided highway. The road heads east-northeast and passes through areas of suburban residential development to the south of Dover. The route comes to an intersection with South State Street, where DE 10 Alt. returns to the route. DE 10 runs east through a mix of residential and commercial development, curving to the northeast. The road crosses the St. Jones River and reaches an interchange with access to and from the southbound direction the DE 1 freeway. DE 10 comes to its eastern terminus within this interchange at an intersection with Bay Road at the north gate of Dover Air Force Base. Bay Road runs north to provide access to and from the northbound direction of DE 1.〔〔 The portion of the route between the Maryland border and US 13 Alt. in Camden and between DE 10 Alt. and Gateway South Boulevard near Lebanon is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a Delaware Byway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway )〕 DE 10 has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 22,770 vehicles at the eastern terminus at Bay Road to a low of 2,262 vehicles at the Sandtown Road intersection.〔 None of DE 10 is part of the National Highway System. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delaware Route 10」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
