U.S. 301 North
Welcome to Delaware sign posted beyond the U.S. 301 intersection with Strawberry Lane. Construction realigned the US route onto a limited access toll road directly from the state line northward. 12/16/16
A short distance north of Strawberry Lane, U.S. 301 intersected SR 299 (Warwick Road) west. SR 299 connects with MD 282 and the community of Warwick, Maryland. Main Street through Warwick was originally numbered as MD 299, which is the reason why SR 299 is numbered as such.
This shield assembly was previously removed by 2014. 08/27/05
Traffic lights were added during construction of the new U.S. 301 toll road for SR 299 (Warwick Road) west. SR 299 combined with U.S. 301 north into Middletown from here. The state route was realigned in 2017 onto a frontage road along the west side of the U.S. 301 toll road to Levels Road. 12/16/16
U.S. 301/SR 299 (Middletown Warwick Road) curved northeast and approached the town of Middletown. Annexations from the municipality overtook undeveloped farmland for new subdivisions, town home complexes, shopping centers and schools. 12/16/16
A reassurance marker for U.S. 301 north appeared after the former intersection with Middle Neck Road. Middle Neck Road angles northwest from the realignment of SR 299 (Warwick Road) to Middle Neck between the Little and Great Bohemia Creeks in Maryland. 12/16/16
