Roundabout rolling along near Five Points
The long-awaited roundabout at the intersection of Route 9, Plantation Road and Beaver Dam Road continues to take shape just west of Five Points near Lewes. The formidable intersection that bewildered many drivers was closed in November to allow contractors to connect all legs of the roundabout to existing roads. A portion of the roundabout is expected to open in March, with it being fully operational by Memorial Day.
