Delaware Route 52
Delaware Route 52 (DE 52) is a state highway in New Castle County, Delaware. The route runs from U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) in downtown Wilmington north to Pennsylvania Route 52 (PA 52) at the Pennsylvania border near Centerville. DE 52 runs through the city of Wilmington and passes through areas of the Brandywine Valley north of Wilmington. DE 52 intersects Interstate 95 (I-95)/US 202 and DE 2 in Wilmington and DE 100/DE 141 and DE 82 in Greenville. The entire route is designated as part of the Brandywine Valley National Scenic Byway, a National Scenic Byway and Delaware Byway while most of the route is also designated as part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway of the Delaware Byways system. The road was built as the Kennett Pike, a turnpike, between 1811 and 1813 at a cost of $30,000. The Kennett Pike was bought by Pierre S. du Pont in 1919 and upgraded to a state highway. The road received the DE 52 designation by 1936.
==Route description==
DE 52 begins at US 13 Bus., which is routed on the one-way pair of North Walnut Street northbound and North King Street southbound near Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington. From here, DE 52 follows the one-way pair of East 11th Street eastbound and East 12th Street westbound to the northwest, becoming West 11th Street and West 12th Street at the North Market Street intersection. The one-way pair heads northwest past downtown high-rise buildings, carrying three lanes in each direction. Both directions of DE 52 merge onto Delaware Avenue, an eight-lane divided highway, and the route reaches an interchange with I-95/US 202. Past this interchange, the route narrows to six lanes and leaves downtown Wilmington. DE 52 splits from Delaware Avenue by continuing northwest on Pennsylvania Avenue, a four-lane undivided road that passes through urban areas of homes and businesses. The road intersects the eastern terminus of DE 2 in a commercial area and passes under CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision. The route runs through more residential areas north of the Wawaset Park neighborhood, passing to the northeast of the Wilmington Campus of the University of Delaware.
DE 52 leaves Wilmington and becomes Kennett Pike, heading through wooded areas of suburban homes. The road heads into Greenville and widens into a divided highway as it comes to an interchange with the DE 100/DE 141 freeway. Past this interchange, the route continues into business areas, crossing an East Penn Railroad line. DE 52 leaves Greenville and narrows to a two-lane undivided road as it heads into wooded areas then open fields to the west and Twin Lakes Farm and Twin Lakes Brewing Company, intersecting the southern terminus of DE 82. The road continues through more forested suburban areas, passing to the west of the Wilmington Country Club and to the east of the Delaware Museum of Natural History. The route passes to the west of the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate and heads into the community of Centerville. DE 52 continues northwest to its northern terminus at the Pennsylvania border, where it continues into that state as PA 52.〔〔
