Delaware Route 92 (DE 92) is a road in northern New Castle County, Delaware that runs a short distance to the south of the Pennsylvania/Delaware state line for most of its length. The route runs from DE 100 near Montchanin east to U.S. Route 13 (US 13) in Claymont. The road is a two-lane rural road between the western terminus and US 202, passing through Brandywine Creek State Park. East of US 202, DE 92 is a four-lane divided highway called Naamans Road that passes through suburban areas to the north of Wilmington, interchanging with Interstate 95 (I-95) in Claymont. DE 92 was first built as a state highway east of US 202 during the 1920s and 1930s. By 1968, the route was designated onto its current alignment. In the 1990s, DE 92 east of US 202 was widened into a divided highway. ==Route description== DE 92 begins at the intersection with DE 100 and Adams Dam Road near Montchanin. The route runs northeast on a two-lane undivided road called Thompson Bridge Road, passing through farmland to the north of Brandywine Creek State Park. The road continues into forested areas of the state park, crossing the Brandywine Creek. After the state park, DE 92 heads into areas of fields within First State National Historical Park, continuing northeast along Ramsey Road before curving to the north. The route turns east onto Beaver Valley Road, widening into a four-lane divided highway as it passes south of business parks and intersects US 202. Past the US 202 intersection, DE 92 becomes Naamans Road and passes to the south of Brandywine Town Center as it continues into residential and commercial areas and intersects Shipley Road. Past the Brandywine Town Center, the route heads through neighborhoods in Brandywine Hundred and intersects Ebright Road, which goes north to the highest point in Delaware (Ebright Azimuth) and into Pennsylvania. After this, the road comes to an intersection with DE 261.〔〔 Farther east, DE 92 reaches a junction with the northern terminus of DE 3. From here, the road crosses over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision and turns to the east-southeast. The route heads into business areas in Claymont and comes to an interchange with I-95 at the northern terminus of I-495. After the I-95 interchange, DE 92 passes the Tri-State Mall and has an intersection with the southern terminus of DE 491. Past this intersection, the route turns southeast and crosses a railroad spur before ending at US 13.〔〔 DE 92 has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 28,720 vehicles at the Shipley Road intersection to a low of 8,065 vehicles at the Creek Road intersection.〔 The portion of DE 92 east of US 202 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 92」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
