Looking north and west across Five Points in 1964
The above photo is how the Five Points intersection looked in October of 1964, not long after Delaware’s Department of Transportation dualized Route 14 to become Route 1 from Five Points to Rehoboth Beach.
In the upper lefthand corner are Route 9 headed to Georgetown, then Beaver Dam Road, and then what is now Plantation Road. The big, open field in the lower left is now occupied by Lowe’s while the large, open field to the right is now part of the Villages of Five Points.
The road in the lower righthand corner is Route 9 - Savannah Road - headed into Lewes. Noticeably absent is the Nassau Overpass which was eventually constructed - as part of further dualization - to carry Route 1 traffic over the Georgetown to Lewes railroad tracks. What will the future of the Nassau Overpass be now that DelDOT has decided to decommission the railroad line into Lewes?
