Delaware Route 34 (DE 34), also known as Faulkland Road, is a state highway in New Castle County, Delaware. The route runs from an intersection with unnumbered Duncan Road, just west of DE 41, north of Prices Corner to DE 100 near Elsmere. Along the way, the route intersects DE 41 and DE 141 as it passes through suburban areas to the west of Wilmington. The road was paved in the 1930s and designated DE 34 in the 1970s.
DE 34 begins at an intersection with Duncan Road north of Prices Corner and heads east on two-lane undivided Faulkland Road through wooded areas and homes. The route intersects DE 41 and passes north of Brandywine Springs Park before it crosses Red Clay Creek and the Wilmington and Western Railroad. The road continues east through suburban neighborhoods, crossing Centerville Road. Farther east, DE 34 runs through residential and commercial areas as it comes to an intersection with DE 141. Past this junction, the route passes to the south of DuPont's Chestnut Run Plaza research facility. DE 34 crosses an East Penn Railroad line and heads between two cemeteries before ending at DE 100 north of Elsmere, just west of the western city limit of Wilmington.
