Where Concord Pike meets Silverside Road

Talleyville is an unincorporated community in Brandywine Hundred, north of Wilmington. It grew up where U.S. Route 202, Concord Pike, crosses Mt. Lebanon Road and Silverside Road, about a mile and a half from the Pennsylvania line. The Concord Pike corridor runs roughly six miles from the city to the state line, and WILMAPCO, DelDOT and New Castle County have planned for it as one of the region's busiest commercial roads.

Shopping center entrances, left turns across several lanes and heavy commuter traffic are the everyday conditions here. The claims that follow tend to be rear-end and turning collisions at signals, crashes involving drivers pulling out of plazas, and pedestrians struck while crossing a wide highway.

Police, fire and the Pennsylvania line

Because Talleyville is unincorporated, there is no town police force. New Castle County Police patrol the county around the clock, and Delaware State Police also investigate crashes on Concord Pike, including serious collisions handled by the Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit. The Talleyville Fire Company, formed in 1928, is often first on scene.

With Pennsylvania this close, many drivers on Concord Pike are not Delaware residents. A crash with an out-of-state driver still follows Delaware law when it happens here. Our page on crashes involving out-of-state drivers explains how that works.

The closest hospital to Talleyville is ChristianaCare Wilmington Hospital in the city, and critical injuries may be taken on to Christiana Hospital near Newark, the state's Level I trauma center.
