The project limits are along Philadelphia Pike (US13) corridor, from Rolling Road to Darley Road in the community of Claymont.

The improvements proposed are part of an effort to facilitate transportation improvements related to the redevelopment of the Claymont area.

In 2001 the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Highway Safety Improvement Program identified the intersection of Harvey Road and Philadelphia Pike in Claymont for safety improvements. During that same time, the community was at the beginning stages of developing a master plan to create economic development opportunities within the community and restore its small town neighborhood atmosphere. This effort is known as the Claymont Renaissance and was undertaken by the Claymont Coalition. At the request of the Claymont Coalition, the Department developed a transportation plan to not only address safety issues along Philadelphia Pike but to support and enhance the Claymont Renaissance. As a result of these efforts the 2003 Claymont Transportation Plan was developed.
