History
Created in 1932, US 301 did not yet run in Delaware, it was not until 1960, when US 301 was extended from Baltimore to Farnhurst, all the way to I-295 at New Castle. In the 1990s this was shortened to Glasgow because of the unnecessary double numbering with the US 40. With the opening of the toll road, the US 301 between Middletown and the US 40 near Glasgow has been dropped, the length of the US 301 in Delaware became thus shortened from 24 to 17 kilometers.
US 301 was rerouted in 2019 on a 17-mile new toll road that runs from the Maryland border to SR-1 at St. Georges. The original road has 29 intersections, 18 of which have traffic lights. The new road was constructed as a toll road and connects to State Route 1 toward Wilmington just south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Bridge . Construction started on February 5, 2016 and the toll road opened on January 10, 2019.
