Road South of Wilmington, Delaware, 1918

When this photograph was taken on March 4, 1918, construction on U.S. Route 13, the DuPont Highway was underway.  This image leaves no doubt as to the importance of that massive and costly undertaking.  The modern highway would speed the delivery of farm products from Delaware’s farmers to nearby markets, but it would also make every day travel safer and easier.
