Chesapeake & Delaware Canal no relation Delaware Route 9
US 13 heads across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal and the Michael N. Castle Trail on the north bank of the canal on the St. Georges Bridge, a tied-arch bridge which is two lanes wide with bike lanes. Past the bridge, the name changes to South Dupont Highway and the road comes to a right-in/right-out interchange which connects to Broad Street northbound and North Main Street southbound to provide access to North St. Georges. The route becomes four lanes again as it runs through rural areas with some development, crossing Dragon Creek. The road passes to the east of a park and ride lot before reaching an intersection with DE 72 and the southern terminus of DE 7 in the community of Wrangle Hill to the west of the city of Delaware City. Here, US 13 turns west to join DE 72 on four-lane divided Wrangle Hill Road while DE 7 continues north along South Dupont Highway. A short distance later, the road comes to a diverging diamond interchange with DE 1, at which point US 13 splits from DE 72 and heads north along with DE 1 on a six-lane freeway named Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway. The freeway runs through farmland and passes over Norfolk Southern's Reybold Industrial Track and DE 7 without access to the west of PBF Energy's Delaware City Refinery. US 13/DE 1 cross Red Lion Creek and continue concurrent on the freeway to Tybouts Corner, where DE 1 splits at an interchange to remain as a freeway and US 13 reverts to a four-lane divided highway with at-grade intersections called South Dupont Highway. Within the DE 1 interchange, US 13 has an at-grade intersection with the northern terminus of DE 71. A short distance later, the highway intersects Bear Road/Hamburg Road, where DE 9 Truck joins US 13. The road heads northeast through farmland with some businesses, passing to the east of the Buena Vista State Conference Center, before continuing into suburban residential and commercial development. US 13 crosses Army Creek and passes under Norfolk Southern's New Castle Secondary railroad line before it comes to a directional intersection with US 40 in State Road; this intersection has no access from northbound US 13 to westbound US 40.
