Delaware Route 11 (DE 11) is a state highway in Kent County, Delaware. It runs from Maryland Route 302 (MD 302) at the Maryland border near Templeville, Maryland northeast to DE 300 near Kenton. The road, known as Arthursville Road for its entire length, passes through the farmland of western Kent County and then through the town of Hartly, where it intersects DE 44. DE 11 was created by 1936 on a road taken over by the state by 1931.
Route description
DE 11 begins at the Maryland border in western Kent County, where MD 302 continues to the west towards Templeville, Maryland. DE 11 heads northeast on two-lane, undivided Arthursville Road through a mix of woods and farms, with occasional residences. The road enters the town of Hartly, where it passes Hartly Elementary School and several homes. In the center of Hartly, the route crosses DE 44. After DE 44, the road heads north before curving northeast and leaving Hartly. DE 11 continues back into rural areas, making another turn north and passing a few homes. The road runs northeast through more woodland and farm fields before coming to an end at DE 300 to the southwest of Kenton.[2][3]
DE 11 has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 2,413 vehicles at the eastern terminus at DE 300 to a low of 1,443 vehicles at the south end of Hartly.[1] None of DE 11 is part of the National Highway System.[4]
History
By 1920 what is now DE 11 existed as an unimproved county road.[5][6] The road was taken over by the state and paved by 1931.[7] When Delaware created its state highway system by 1936, DE 11 was assigned to its current alignment.[8] The route has not changed since its inception.[2]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Kent County.
