Delaware 5 Alternate provides a truck bypass for Delaware 5 west of Milton. The state route lines Sand Hill Road (Road 319) 1.3 miles west from Delaware 5 (Harbeson Road / Road 22) by Diamond Pond to Delaware 30 (Gravel Hill Road). Overlaps take the route 1.1 miles north along side SR 30 (Road 248) to SR 16 (Broadkill Road), and east 1.4 miles back to SR 5 via SR 16.1 Fairly well posted in the field, the designation first appeared on the 2001 edition of the Official Delaware Highway Map.
