From the Oxford Bypass, the freeway from the Maryland Line north to Kennett Square, which has both original concrete and milemarkers that don't know how many tenths are good for them.


The lantern is in the middle of an intersection where PA 472 turns to enter/leave Oxford. Old US 1 is downtown.

A now-replaced '50's-style LGS (check out the arrow) on US 1 SB near Delaware (Kennett Square, PA) and the beginning of the Oxford Bypass.


A wrong-way multiplex, east of the above LGS.

NB.


The Franklin Mint died in 2003, and Wawa HQ has begun to take over the old buildings from across the street, but unwary tourists (such as my family and I) may still think it's here. Then again, weeds growing as tall as trees might be a clue to the demise of the Mint, as might empty, crumbling parking lots.


Rare state-name sighting on the NB ramp. It's also a rare interchange, known as a "volleyball", where the ramps from both freeways meet and cross each other on a single level (at traffic signals). US 1 would never get away with that if it were an Interstate.


SB. US 13 is not multiplexed with US 1 here, and there are no further signs to direct you where to go. That's because this is the last remnant of when US 13 did come this way with US 1 on one of its many routings. The second photo is on the SB exit for PA 320.


Older street signs and then a newer one that acts like a guide sign.


SB heading away from I-76. City Ave. looks nice but doesn't seem like a particular attraction.


Two SB photos just south of I-76, including an expressway by-pass I don't quite understand (isn't the expressway supposed to be the by-pass?). The dead little sign below it was brown and pointed to the Mann Center. The Gustine Lake interchange page (linked below) has a better example.


NB, same area.
