I took a trip yesterday to drive the North Millsboro Bypass (opened Friday) and to see other interesting sights in MD, PA, and DE. The only clinching for TM was DE 24 along the North Millsboro Bypass, the new DE 24 BUS (Millsboro) as the east end at DE 24 connects to a realigned Hollyville Rd leading to part of DE 24 no longer being used, and US 30 BUS ALT TRUCK (Sadsburyville).
I almost reclinched MD 213 (turned onto US 50) and drove both termini of DE 15 (to annoy those that are annoyed by the route's existence). Other items looked at were the MD 331 Choptank River Bridge, the DE 10 construction at US 13, completed widening of DE 299 between Middletown and DE 1, and the new ramps at the I-95/DE 896 interchange.
EDIT (10-5-2025): I visited my parents this weekend and added some new mileage in VA and NC.
Saturday we did another Smithfield's Chicken-N-BBQ (SCNB) NC run by taking VA 35 into NC and reclinching NC 35 in the process. We then looped around Ashokie for a while clinching NC 561 (done previously west of NC 35), NC 461, and NC 11 BUS (Aulander) along with completing NC 36/NC 42 east of Sanford (was done west of Ashokie to Clayton in May). We then took NC 45 south to Plymouth (new mileage north of US 17, thankfully already done south of US 17 due to a closure just south of US 17) and then took US 64 to Jamesville to clinch NC 171. Once to US 17, we took Wharton Station Rd to US 264 WB and then completed NC 33 west of Greenville by taking it from US 264 east of the city to US 301. From there we went to the SCNB on US 301 in Rocky Mount, and then checked to see if the I-95/Sunset Avenue interchange was open (it was not), before taking I-95 back to VA while checking out the redone Exit 145 interchange and the US 158 Roanoke Rapids/Weldon realignment along the way.
Clinched: NC 561, NC 461, NC 11 BUS (Aulander), NC 171, NC 33, US 158 (reclinched), US 158 BUS (Weldon, NC) (certified to check signage, but had been clinched before as US 158)
New Mileage: NC 42 (clinched segment east of NC 36), NC 45
Today I drove most of the Washington-Rochambeau Trail segments from US 360 and north along US 301/VA 2 (turns out I missed a spot, but that is easily fixable the next time I visit my parents). Once I got to US 17, I took it north (well west) to US 1, and took US 1 NB (with a SR 638 loop in Prince William County to view the new VA 394 signage) to VA 294 WB to VA 234 BUS NB in Manassas. Once VA 234 BUS becomes VA 234, I clinched the newly signed VA 393 before taking VA 234 NB to SR 659 NB clinching SR 659 in Prince William and Loudoun Counties. I then took VA 7 WB to Purcellville and ultimately took VA 287 NB into MD taking MD 17 NB to US 340 EB and US 15 NB back to the Harrisburg area.
