 Along the Dover Air Force Base boundary , DE 1 transitions from a four @-@ lane divided surface road to a freeway called the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway , which is a toll road . The first interchange is a northbound exit and entrance which serves the commercial gate of Dover Air Force Base . The freeway passes between the air base golf course to the southwest and various base buildings to the northeast before it reaches a diamond interchange serving the main gate to the northeast and base housing to the southwest . After this , the route continues between base residences and the main part of the base prior to reaching a northbound exit and southbound entrance at the eastern terminus of DE 10 and Bay Road that also serves the north gate of Dover Air Force Base . DE 1 runs north along the west side of Bay Road before it passes over it , where there is a southbound exit and entrance and a northbound entrance that serves to provide access to DE 10 from southbound DE 1 and to northbound DE 1 . Immediately after this is a southbound exit and northbound entrance with the Puncheon Run Connector , which heads west towards US 13 . The freeway continues north along the eastern edge of Dover and comes to a southbound exit and northbound entrance at DE 8 , which provides access to downtown Dover . Past this interchange , the highway turns northwest through rural areas before it comes to the Dover mainline toll plaza . DE 1 passes to the northeast of Dover International Speedway and comes to a trumpet interchange that provides access to US 13 and Scarborough Road , serving the northern part of Dover . This interchange has a toll plaza on the southbound exit and northbound entrance . Following this interchange , the toll road leaves Dover and continues through wooded areas with some fields and nearby development . The route heads to the east of the Cheswold area , passing under DE 42 without an interchange , and curves north , crossing the Leipsic River . DE 1 continues thorough rural areas a short distance to the east of US 13 before it reaches Smyrna . Here , the freeway comes to a trumpet interchange serving US 13 at the southern edge of town , with tolls on the southbound exit and northbound entrance . The highway runs to the east of Smyrna with residential development to the west and rural land to the east , passing under DE 6 with no access .
