The route passes through woodland, curving to the west as it follows a winding alignment. The route intersects Pyles Ford Road and turns southwest onto that road, curving to the west. DE 82 splits from Pyles Ford Road by turning northwest onto Creek Road. The road reaches an intersection with Mt. Cuba Road in the community of
Mount Cuba. Here, the route continues northwest and parallels the

Wilmington and Western Railroad, which are both to the west of the road. The roadway continues on a winding alignment, crossing
Burrows Run, and passes over the creek twice before crossing the railroad at-grade two times. Along this stretch, the road passes through the community of
Ashland, where Barley Mill Road heads south and crosses the Red Clay Creek on the
Ashland Covered Bridge to provide access to the Ashland Nature Center. The entire length of DE 82 is a part of the
