"Upon reaching downtown Wilmington, the route intersects Interstate 95 (I-95)/US 202 and DE 4, with the eastbound direction becoming Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Front Street to the eastern terminus with the westbound direction remaining along Second Street." - this is just hard to understand
"DE 48 continues into Wilmington as Lancaster Avenue and heads into urban areas of homes and businesses, with the eastbound direction narrowing to one lane at an intersection with Greenhill Avenue. coming to a bridge over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision." some sort of typo here?
with the eastbound direction narrowing to one lane at an intersection with Greenhill Avenue. coming to a bridge over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision
"The route intersects DE 2, then follows the one-way pair of Lincoln Street northbound and Union Street southbound. At this point, DE 48 splits into a one-way pair following Lancaster Avenue eastbound and West Second Street westbound, with westbound DE 48 using westbound DE 2 (North Union Street) to get from West Second Street to Lancaster Avenue. - can this be simplified, made easier to follow?
"The turnpike became known as the Lancaster Pike and was surfaced with stone." - are the two parts of this sentence related? What was its surface before stone?
The second part is mentioning that the turnpike has a stone surface. The source does not specify what the pavement was before, but I would assume it was likely dirt or gravel. Dough487200:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
"When Delaware designated its state highway system by 1936, the Lancaster Pike became a part of DE 48, with the route continuing through Wilmington on Lincoln Street, Fourth Street, and Christiana Avenue to the ferry across the Delaware River to Penns Grove, New Jersey, where it connected to Route 48 in New Jersey." - sentence seems too long - can it be broken into two?
citation 5 (google book snippet) [1]doesn't seem to support the two claims it is cited to. It seems to be about "The Eighth Regiment Volunteer Infantry".
