[[Delaware Route 16]] directly serves Ellendale, running east–west through the town, where it is named Main Street. Also known as Beach Highway, DE 16 is a main thoroughfare to Delaware's resort beaches, connecting Ellendale with Milton to the east and Greenwood to the west. [[U.S. Route 113 in Delaware|U.S. Route 113]] runs north-south and crosses western Ellendale, connecting the town with Milford to the north and Georgetown to the south. Also known as DuPont Boulevard, US 113's opening allowed greater access to the town. An anonymous writer in the now extinct Sunday Star newspaper wrote of the Ellendale area "...formerly one of the worst spots in the State for the traveler, where during the winter months, horses and men and automobiles became so deeply mired that they were continually having to be rescued." The writer went on to express that the area had become one of the most beautiful spots on the East Coast of the United States that was compared by tourists to part of [[Yellowstone National Park]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.deldot.gov/static/projects/archaeology/us113/dert113context_final.pdf |title=Historic Context for the DoPont Highway, US Route 113 |publisher=Delaware Department of Transportation|date=July 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070203123051/http://www.deldot.gov/static/projects/archaeology/us113/dert113context_final.pdf |archive-date = February 3, 2007}}</ref>
