MILFORD TO REHOBOTH
BYPASS 1928
A new road, which will
bypass the center of Milford of the Rehoboth highway, is to
be built east of
Milford beginning north of town at the farm lands of Frank
Salevan,
then extends to the High
Hill Wharf on the Mispillion River east of town , thence to
the farm lands of Burt
Deputy, south of town and connect to the Rehoboth highway. It
will be a little bit more
than a one mile stretch and will require a lot of fill in's
and
a draw bridge to cross the
Mispillion river.
This route is opposed by
the Milford mechants who feel it will take Milford off the maps,
and that they will loose
business. The state Highway Department contands the streets
of downtown Milford are
too narrow to take the traffic to and from Rehoboth Beach.
