Coastal Highway
Five Points to Milford

This portion of DE 1 came about in the 1970s, and serves as the primary north/south to and from the Delaware beach resorts.

A note of interest... this section of DE 1 used to be known as DE 14 until the 1970s.

With the upgrade from DE 14 to DE 1, the entire route was dualized, making it a 4-lane rural highway it's entire length from Five Points to Milford.  Several bypassed 2-lane sections still exist along the highway, serving local communities.

An expressway grade bypass was constructed around Milford to bypass the town.  Business DE 1 still serves the community of Milford on DE 14's original alignment.

Also in Milford, DE 1 meets up with US 113.  US 113 used to be co-signed with DE 1 to Dover... but has recently been truncated to it's intersection with DE 1 in Milford.  However, at the time these photos were taken, US 113 was still fully signed throughout the entire route.
