The Delaware Turnpike (also named John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway along with the adjacent Maryland route) is an 11.2 mile (18.0 km.) tolled highway that lies entirely within the State of Delaware[1]. Running in a general southwest to northeast direction, paralleling nearby U.S. Route 40, the highway connects the cities of Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C. with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (via I-95 and New York City (via the New Jersey Turnpike). It has the dubious distinction as being the most expensive toll road in the United States based on a cost per mile average.

History

Early history

The history of the Delaware Turnpike goes back to the 1950s when the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the New Jersey Turnpike were opened between 1953 and 1957. Originally, the State of Delaware wanted to build a four-lane toll highway that paralleled the present-day U.S. 13/40 highway in New Castle, Delaware, connecting to a corresponding toll highway in Maryland in what is now U.S. Route 301. With the formation of the Interstate Highway System, the predecessor of the present-day DelDOT and the Maryland Transportation Authority decided to build a route that would provide a more direct connection with Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The Delaware Memorial Bridge, commonly abbreviated as Del Mem Br on highway guide signs, is a set of twin suspension bridges crossing the Delaware River. ...

Interstate Highways in the 48 contiguous states. ... The Maryland Transportation Authority is the division of the Maryland Department of Transportation that operates the several toll roads, bridges, and tunnels in the State of Maryland. ...


Because of a fallout between the governors of both Delaware and Maryland and the Eisenhower Administration, both the MTA and DelDOT decided to build their sections of I-95, but unlike the earlier Pennsylvania and New Jersey Turnpikes, the Northeast Toll Road and the Delaware Turnpike would be built to the Interstate Highway standards of its day. Unlike the narrow median strip of the Pennsylvania Turnpike or the Jersey barrier of the New Jersey Turnpike, both the Northeast Toll Road and the Delaware Turnpike featured wide median barriers (sinced narrowed due to road expansion projects), (at the time of completion) two 15-foot wide travel lanes, and a unified exit numbering system. Three service plazas, two in Maryland and one near Newark, Delaware, straddle the middle of the roadway. Dwight David Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was an American General and politician, who served as the thirty-fourth President of the United States (1953–1961). ... The John F.

The Delaware Turnpike served as one of few examples of the building of a toll highway in the era of the building of a nationwide Interstate Highway network. Other highway authorities, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, had highway expansion projects in the planning stages when the Interstate Highway Act was signed, but were dropped in favor of the Interstate Highway system, with most of the former planned Pennsylvania Turnpike routes becoming outright Interstate Highways in their own right. With federal funds given to both Maryland and Delaware under both the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, all other sections of I-95 in Maryland (between the Capital Beltway and Baltimore) and Delaware (between the Delaware Turnpike and the Pennsylvania State Line) were built as non-tolled freeways. Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908–January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was an American politician. ...

Extensions studied

In the 1970s, DelDOT studied a plan to rebuild U.S. Route 13 into a so-called "Dover Extension" that would connect the main highway with the State Captiol with a high-speed roadway. Local opposition, especially farmers, killed the original "Dover Extension" project but it would be resurrected in the 1980s and would become the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway (signed as Delaware Rt. 1), which was completed by DelDOT in 2000. Delaware Route 1 is a 110 mile long, four-to-six lane highway going from the Maryland-Delaware State line on the eastern Atlantic shoreline to the Delaware Turnpike (Interstate 95) just outside of Wilmington. ...


Another extension, using most of the original Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Delaware Memorial Bridge route and signed as U.S. Route 301, would have used what is now Delaware Route 896 between Newark and Summit Bridge, Delaware and a new right-of-way parallel to, but west of Delaware Rt. 896 between Summit Bridge and the present-day U.S. Rt. 301 highway in Maryland. Despite the high hopes of this U.S. 301 Extension being built (the Summit Bridge itself and its approaches, completed in 1960, was built to highway standards), local opposition forced DelDOT to abandoned its plans for the U.S. 301 extension in the 1990s, resurrecting it in 2006 as the planned relocation of US 301 that will connect the present-day U.S. Route 301 highway in Maryland with the Delaware Rt. 1 Turnpike near St. Georges, Delaware. Delaware Route 896 runs north of U.S. Route 40 from the northern terminus of U.S. Route 301 to Newark. ...

Tolls

The Delaware Turnpike is the most expensive toll roads in the United States going by the cost per mile average. Effective October 1, 2007, the toll became $4.00 each direction; 35.7 cents per mile (increasing from $3.00, or 26.8 cents for mile), in both directions at the highway's Maryland toll plaza located between the Maryland State Line and Delaware Rt. 896. [2] Like most toll highway in the Northeast U.S., toll collection is done either with cash fare or with E-ZPass electronic toll collection. Prior to 1982, tolls were collected on the Delaware Turnpike's three exits (Delaware Rt. 896, Delaware Rt. 273, and Delaware Rts. 1 & 7), but have since been removed, their former locations marked with straight wide sections on entrance or exit ramps where the tolls were collected. Due to the outlandish cost of traveling the turnpike, many motorists coming from the south frequently use Route 1 to avoid paying the toll. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...


Currently, DelDOT is studying the possibility of resuming the implementation of ramp tolls at the Delaware Rt. 896 and Delaware Rt. 273 interchanges in the need to fund improvements of the interchanges with Delaware Rt. 896 and Delaware Rt. 1/7. The ramp tolls, if installed, would be similar in appearance to the automated ramp toll collection system used on the Delaware Rt. 1 Turnpike and will have dedicated cash and "E-ZPass Only" lanes. DelDOT is also planning to replace the aging mainline toll plaza with a new one with both high-speed E-ZPass lanes and traditional cash and slow-speed "E-ZPass Only" lanes.[3]


Design

Originally opened with a total of four travel lanes (two in each direction), the highway currently has a total of eight travel lanes between the mainline toll plaza and the triple interchange with I-295, the I-95 freeway to Wilmington, Delaware, and I-495 to the Port of Wilmington and Philadelphia. A short three-lane section of the highway exists between the mainline toll plaza and the Maryland State Line, but with the planned toll plaza total rebuild project, both DelDOT and the MTA have plans of expanding their corresponding highways between the toll plaza and Maryland Route 279 to eight lanes, eliminating traffic snarls that plague the highway. Interstates 95 and 276 Interstate 295 in New Jersey and Delaware is a bypass route from a junction with Interstate 95 south of Wilmington, Delaware to a junction with I-95 north of Trenton, New Jersey. ... : Chemical Capital of the World , Corporate Capital of the World , Credit Card Capital of the World : A Place to Be Somebody United States Delaware New Castle 17. ...

Maryland Route 279 connects U.S. Route 40 in Cecil County with the Delaware state line and Delaware Route 2. ...


With the plans of rebuilding the Del. Turnpike-Del. Rt. 1/7 interchange in Christiana, Delaware, DelDOT will start, in June, 2007, of expanding the highway between Del. Rts. 1/7 to the triple Interstate junction from eight lanes to a total of ten lanes, making the roadway one of the widest roadways in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area (outside of the short stretch of I-76 between the Walt Whitman Bridge and I-295/NJ Rt. 42 in Camden, New Jersey). This expansion project would not only allow DelDOT to construct multi-lane high-speed flyover ramps for the Del. Rt. 1/7 interchange, but also eliminate a major bottleneck that occurs south of the U.S. 202/Del. Rt. 141 interchange when traffic from I-295 and the New Jersey Turnpike must merge onto the highway.

Services

A full-service plaza, located between the Del. Rt. 896 and Del. Rt. 273 interchanges, has both food, gas, and bathroom services, along with an information center located near the north entrance. Food services include a Bob's Big Boy, Roy Rogers (one of the few remaining in the Philadelphia Metro Area), Sbarro pizzeria, and even a Starbucks.

Interchanges

Prior to 1982, the Delaware Turnpike shared an exit numbering system with that of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway in Maryland, which has since become a non-toll highway (except at the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge, in which a one-way toll [northbound] is still charged). The exit numbers adopted after 1982 are similar to those used on most Northeastern Interstate highways, and unlike the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway (Delaware Route 1), are numbered sequentially. A median service area with several gas stations and restaurants exists between exits 1 & 3. Also, ramp tolls existed on Exits 1, 3, and 4 (on ramps exiting southbound or entering northbound), but were removed in 1976 (the only evidence of their existence are straight, wide sections on these ramps). There are talks on reinstating the ramp tolls at Exits 1 and 3 in the future to pay for a major upgrade project at Exit 4 to replace the current "classic cloverleaf" interchange with that using high-speed ramps, along with widening the highway between Exit-4 and the I-295 junction with an additional lane in each direction.

Kennedy Memorial Highway (also known as JFK Memorial Highway) is a 50-mile section of Interstate 95 traversing northeastern Maryland from the northern Baltimore City line to the Delaware State line where it meets the Delaware Turnpike. ...
