A pair of iron Welcome to Milford city signs are posted at the U.S. 113 & Delaware 1 Business (DuPont Boulevard) intersection with Warner Road.

The city limits now extend northward to Swan Creek along Delaware 1. Photo taken 08/05/07. |

Mileage sign highlighting the distance to Georgetown, the Sussex County seat and junction U.S. 9, and Pocomoke City, Maryland, the southern terminus. The corporate limits sign is not entirely true as areas west of U.S. 113 are already within the city of Milford and attached to the parcels north of the partial "Y" interchange with Delaware 1. However a small notch of county land does front the northbound side of U.S. 113 & Delaware 1 Business northeast of Warner Road. Photo taken 08/05/07. |

| At Selbyville and the Maryland State line U.S. 113 (Dupont Boulevard) narrowed from four to two lanes and became undivided.

The Worcester Highway provides access to Ocean City, Maryland by way of three routes: Maryland 589 in 4.5 miles, Maryland 90 (Ocean City Expressway) in 5.5 miles, and U.S. 50 in 8.5 miles. U.S. 113 otherwise sinks 9.5 miles southward to the Worcester County seat of Berlin. Photos taken by Rahul (05/00). |
