The Guide to Delaware State Route 1 Business

BUSINESS

Delaware 1 Business constitutes the original alignment of Delaware 14 through the city of Milford. Delaware 1 overtook Delaware 14 from Milford southward in the 1970s. Thus Delaware 1 Business in effect represents the original alignment of Delaware 1.

Delaware 1 Business follows Rehoboth Boulevard into Milford from the southeast. North of downtown the state route turns onto Walnut Street and U.S. 113 (Dupont Boulevard) for the return to Delaware 1. Partial "Y" interchanges are in place at both ends.
