Comments

This looks great overall. I have only a few comments:

Lede

• "The construction of DE 1 necessitated the realignment of US before13 in a couple places." This sounds a little imprecise. Does a couple mean "two" here, or "a few"? If "two," I'd say "two"; if not, "several" might do.
  • Changed to "two". Dough4872 01:45, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

History

• Where you say "Prior to US 13", it's a little awkward, because it's the same actual roads, right? I think you mean something more like "before the US routes were numbered, or something."
  • Changed. Dough4872 01:45, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
• "In 1950, recommendations were made..." By whom?
  • Mentioned. Dough4872 01:45, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

• That's all for now. I'll take a second read later, but it looks pretty good already.
  • With those changes, I think it's good to go. Nice article. I'll think it next time I drive down US 13. --Coemgenus (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to 6 external links on U.S. Route 13 in Delaware. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

US 13 @ DE 896 outdated destination details

For US 13’s intersection with DE 896 in Boyd’s Corner, the destination is listed “DE 896 to US 301”. This is outdated as, with the upgrading of US 301 to a tollway through most of Delaware, traffic on DE 896 can no longer access US 301 WolfRaptor31 (talk) 22:02, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

There are still signs along US 13 at DE 896 that point to US 301. Also, you can take DE 896 north to DE 71 south to access US 301 at an interchange. Dough4872 01:02, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
