DE 58 begins at an intersection with
DE 4 in
Christiana. Past this intersection, the road continues northwest as Delaware Park Boulevard to provide access to
Delaware Park – which consists of a Thoroughbred horse racetrack, casino, and golf course – and the
Churchmans Crossing station on
SEPTA's
Wilmington/Newark Line that runs along
Amtrak's
Northeast Corridor railroad line. From DE 4, DE 58 heads east on Churchmans Road, a four-lane
divided highway. The route passes to the north of
Christiana Hospital and runs through commercial development before coming to a
partial cloverleaf interchange with the
DE 7 freeway a short distance north of the northern terminus of
DE 1 at the
I-95 (Delaware Turnpike) interchange. Just east of that interchange, DE 58 forms the southern border of the Stanton Campus of
Delaware Technical Community College. The route crosses over I-95 (Delaware Turnpike), where there is a ramp from I-95 southbound to DE 58. This is the only direct ramp between DE 58 and I-95, as all other access between the two routes must be made via DE 7. Past I-95, DE 58 becomes a two-lane undivided road and heads to the southeast through residential areas, crossing the
Christina River. The route curves south through commercial development, widening back into a four-lane divided highway and intersecting
DE 37. Past the intersection with DE 37, DE 58 continues southeast as a two-lane undivided road and skirts the southwestern edge of
Wilmington Airport. The route passes through light industrial development and reaches its terminus at
DE 273 near
Hares Corner. DE 58 has an
annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 26,430 vehicles at the DE 1/DE 7 interchange to a low of 10,203 vehicles at the DE 37 intersection. ==History==
