DelDOT has completed the removal of the Business Route 2 designation from Main Street, Delaware Avenue, South Main Street, and Elkton Road in order to reduce confusion and sign clutter.  In addition, DelDOT has also truncated Delaware Route 2 at Route 273 to follow the same criteria for drivers.

The removal of Delaware Route 2 and Business Route 2 signs took place during the latter weeks of August 2013, and the current designations can be seen in image above.  Although the project is complete, however, historic Route 2 signs can still be seen on side streets approaching South Main Street, East Main Street and East Delaware Avenue.
