The recent reopening of Nassau Commons Boulevard on July 28 is welcome news for the Lewes business community — especially for those looking to lease commercial or warehouse space along Delaware’s booming beach corridor. The roadway, which connects Route 1 and Route 9 near the Five Points intersection, has long been a vital link for local and regional traffic. Its full reopening is a big step forward for business accessibility in the area.
Although the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) clarified that the road will not fall under state maintenance due to construction standards, the reopening itself is still a significant logistical advantage. Nassau Commons Boulevard now provides better flow for deliveries, employees, and customers traveling between Lewes, Milton, and Georgetown.
