The Newport Gap Pike portion of road was built as a state highway by 1925 and became part of DE 41 by 1936.

Newport Gap Pike continues northwest past this intersection as DE 41.

The road passes west of Prices Corner Shopping Center and intersects Old Capitol Trail as it heads through suburban residential and commercial developments, crossing the Wilmington and Western Railroad and CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision railroad line at-grade.

[3][4] At this point, the route turns east onto Boxwood Road, a four-lane divided highway, with Newport Gap Pike continuing south to provide access to southbound DE 141.

Past this intersection, the road becomes two lanes and undivided, passing to the south of an Amazon fulfillment center and to the north of residential subdivisions.
