Delaware Route 299 (DE 299) is a state highway in New Castle County, Delaware. It runs from Maryland Route 282 (MD 282) at the Maryland border east of Warwick, Maryland to DE 9 in Mathews Corners, passing through Middletown and Odessa. It overlaps U.S. Route 301 (US 301) from just east of the Maryland border to the west end of Middletown. It is also concurrent with DE 15 along the eastern part of the US 301 concurrency. The road runs through a mix of suburban development. Delaware Route 299 was originally designated as DE 4 in 1938, running as far east as US 13 in Odessa. By 1957, DE 4 became DE 299 to match MD 299 (now MD 282) and was extended east to DE 9 in 1959. Over the years, several different routes had followed the DE 299 alignment including DE 71 west of Middletown between 1959 and 1987 and US 301N between Middletown and Odessa from 1959 to 1971. In 2008, a widening of DE 299 in the western part of Middletown began; it was completed in November 2010. ==Route description== DE 299 heads east from the Maryland border on Warwick Road, passing through farmland. At the state line, the road continues west into Maryland as MD 282.〔 Shortly after the state line, it merges onto US 301 and heads to the northeast on Middletown Warwick Road. DE 15 joins with the two routes, heading from the south on Levels Road, and they head into the commercial western part of Middletown. At the point DE 15 makes a left onto Bunker Hill Road, US 301 continues straight and DE 299 makes a right onto Main Street, heading east across a Norfolk Southern rail line into the downtown area of Middletown. In the center of Middletown, DE 299 intersects DE 71 (Broad Street).〔〔 After running through the downtown area, the route heads east through suburban commercial development in the eastern part of Middletown and becomes Middletown Odessa Road.〔 It intersects the DE 1 toll road at a diamond interchange and heads east through a mix of farms and homes into Odessa, becoming Main Street. In Odessa, the route is lined with homes and intersects US 13, which is split onto 5th Street northbound and 6th Street southbound.〔〔 Past Odessa, DE 299 crosses the Appoquinimink River and heads to the southeast on Old State Road into housing developments.〔 The route makes a left turn onto Taylors Bridge Road briefly and ends at DE 9 in Mathews Corners.〔〔 Portions of DE 299 are designated as part of the Delaware Byways system. The section between Silver Lake Road in Middletown and DE 9 is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway while the section between US 13 in Odessa and DE 9 is a spur of the Delaware's Bayshore Byway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Delaware's Bayshore Byway )〕 DE 299 has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 16,456 vehicles at the west end of the DE 15 concurrency to a low of 433 vehicles at the Old State Road intersection.〔 The portion of DE 299 concurrent with US 301 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 299」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
