Basically the article is fine but some of the prose could be clarified.

  • "DE 11 was created by 1936 on a road taken over by the state by 1931." - can this be clearer?
  • "DE 11 begins at the Maryland border in western Kent County, where MD 302 continues to the west towards Templeville, Maryland" - so here the road split? MD 302 goes west, and DE 11 heads northeast?
  • "In the center of Hartly, the route crosses DE 44. After DE 44, the road heads north before curving northeast and leaving Hartly." - something like "In the center of Hartly, the route crosses DE 44, then heads north before it curves northeast and leaves Hartly."?
  • "and passing a few homes." - passes a few homes
  • "before coming to " - it comes to an end
  • In the "History" section: "by 1920", "by 1931", "by 1936" - its a little clumsy - perhaps there's no other way to phrase this.

These are suggestions to improve the prose. I made an edit.[1]
