U.S. Route13 (US13) runs along the Atlantic coastline for over 500 miles (800km), passing through five states. Along its route, it possessed numerous special routes, which are all loops off the mainline US13. At present, there are at least 15 special routes in existence: two in North Carolina, five in Virginia, two in Maryland, four in Delaware, and two in Pennsylvania. 13 others have existed in the past but have been deleted.
U.S. Highway13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13, passing through Bethel in the state of North Carolina. It is entirely overlapped with North Carolina Highway11 Bus. (NC11 Bus.). The route branches from US13 just south of the town and follows South Main Street through the town, intersecting US64 Alternate (US64 Alt.) within. It rejoins US13 just south of its interchange with US64.
U.S. Highway13A (US13A) was an alternate route of US13 serving Windsor, North Carolina. Established by 1957 when mainline US13 was bypassed west of Windsor, the alternate route followed the original alignment through downtown Windsor. In 1960, it was redesignated as a business route.[2][4]
U.S. Highway13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving Windsor, North Carolina. It begins by following US17 off the concurrency with US13 south of the town but leaves US17 at the very next intersection, following South Granville Street. It then turns onto West Granville Street, where it follows NC308, and then north on North King Street, leaving behind NC308. US13 Bus. continues north along King Street until it rejoins US13 north of the town.
View north along US13 Bus. and SR 32 at US13 in Suffolk
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving the city of Suffolk in the state of Virginia. It consists of the original routing of the highway before mainline US13 was rerouted onto a freeway bypass to the west and north of the city. It begins near Suffolk Executive Airport, where US13 leaves the roadway at a trumpet interchange, traveling west, while US13 Bus. continues north on Carolina Road concurrent with State Route32 (SR32). As it travels deeper into the city, it intersects Washington Street, which carries SR337, and becomes concurrent with SR10. The three routes follow Main Street north until it meets US58 Bus. and US460 Bus. Here, US13 Bus. joins the two business routes and heads east on Constance Road. The name changes to Portsmouth Boulevard and US13 Bus./US58 Bus./US460 Bus. cross SR337. The three-route overlap of business routes rejoin their mainline route, US13/US58/US460, at a directional interchange (with no access to the southbound/westbound carriageway from the northbound business route) and resumes toward Norfolk.
Major intersections The entire route is in Suffolk.
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving Cheriton in the state of Virginia. The route begins at an intersection with mainline US13 and SR184, where SR184 goes westward and US13 Bus. leaves to the east of US13. The route follows Bayside Road for its entire length, providing access to Oyster via Sunnyside Road.
View south along US13 Bus. at US13 just north of Eastville
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving Eastville in the state of Virginia. It is a two-lane road which follows Courthouse Road for its entire length. It begins in Stumptown, where it leaves US13 at an intersection to the west, passes through Eastville, and recombines with US13 north of town in Kendall Grove. The route provides access to Old Town Neck Drive, which leads to the Chesapeake Bay.
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving Exmore in the state of Virginia. It begins with an intersection south of town with US13, parallel to a railroad alignment, and carries Exmore's Main Street. In town, it intersects SR183 before leaving Main Street for Lincoln Avenue; Main Street continues as SR178. Lincoln Avenue sends US13 Bus. back to its parent just south of the Accomack County line.
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 serving Onley, Tasley, and Accomac in the state of Virginia, weaving across the parent US13 several times. It begins in Onley in the south with an intersection with US13, leaving the mainline route to the east and following Coastal Avenue. It closely parallels a railroad alignment as both of them pass under the mainline US13 with no interchange, now following the route to its west. SR650 intersects that route just before it curves to the northeast, meeting SR316 (Greenbush Avenue) and SR126 (Fairgrounds Road) at a roundabout. US13 Business heads east here and takes on the name Tasley Road as it passes through Tasley. Tasley Road carries US13 Bus. back toward its parent, intersecting it and continuing across as it enters Accomac on Front Street. Front Street eventually expands into a four-lane boulevard just before it rejoins mainline US13, the southbound lanes intersecting with the north bound merging into it as a ramp.
The route begins south of Pocomoke City; US13's four-lane divided mainline curves away to the right around the town, while US13 Bus. continues straight ahead as a two-lane town street.
After intersecting Maryland Route 366 (MD366), the route connects with the original southern terminus of US113, the latter having been rolled back to terminate at mainline US13. For a time, the marooned segment was part of MD250 but is now designated MD250A. Continuing north, the route heads toward the city waterfront and business district, passing through a pair of intersections with traffic lights permanently set to "flash" mode due to lack of traffic.
The route soon reaches the Pocomoke River, crossing it on a drawbridge that was first constructed in the 1920s, reconstructed in the 1990s, and continues in active service today. After crossing the river, the route heads out of town into rural surroundings before terminating on US13 at the southern terminus of MD364.
The route was originally created as a segment of MD675 by 1975, when the four-lane divided Ocean Highway opened around the eastern and northern edges of the town for US13, allowing through traffic to avoid congested inner-city streets.[7] The road was eventually designated US13 Bus.
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 in the state of Maryland. The highway runs 8.14 miles (13.10km) between US13 south of Fruitland and US13 and US50 on the north side of Salisbury. US13 Bus. is a four-lane highway with divided and undivided sections that provides access to downtown Salisbury, where the highway intersects US50 Bus., Salisbury University, and Fruitland, where the highway meets MD513. US13 Bus. was constructed as a new alignment of US13 in several steps in the 1930s and early 1940s. The section of the highway through Salisbury was originally constructed with four lanes, while the portion of the highway through Fruitland and at the northern end was expanded to a divided highway in the first half of the 1950s. US13 Bus. was designated when US13 was moved to the Salisbury Bypass upon its completion in 1982.
U.S. Route13 Alternate (US13 Alt.) was a 18.76-mile (30.19km)alternate route extending from US13 in Delmar, Maryland, to Hearne's Mill near Seaford, Delaware. US13 Alt. began at US13 south of Delmar in Wicomico County, Maryland, heading northwest into the town on two-lane undivided Bi State Boulevard. The road turned north and came to an intersection with MD455, at which point it crossed the state line and entered Delmar in Sussex County, Delaware. The route continued north before it left Delmar and headed through rural areas, with a Pennsylvania Railroad line a short distance to the west and US13 to the east. Farther north, US13 Alt. entered Laurel, where it became Central Avenue. In Laurel, the route intersected DE24 and crossed Broad Creek on a drawbridge. The road curved to the northwest and left the town and continued through rural land along Seaford Road, with the railroad tracks to the west and US13 to the east. The route entered the town of Blades, where it headed north on and reached a junction with DE20 at High Street. At this point, DE20 turned north for a concurrency with US13 Alt., and the two routes continued north, crossing the Nanticoke River on a drawbridge. Here, the road entered the city of Seaford and became Front Street, running north. On the northern edge of Seaford, DE20 split from US13 Alt. by turning west onto Stein Highway. From this point, US13 Alt. left Seaford and became Bridgeville Highway, heading northeast through rural areas to its northern terminus at an intersection with US13 at Hearne's Mill.[9][11]
US13 Alt. was designated in 1954 following the completion of a new divided highway alignment of US13 between south of Delmar, Maryland, and north of Seaford, Delaware.[9][11] The route was decommissioned in 1957.[10] By 1983, the portion of the former route in Maryland was designated as a section of MD675.[12] The former route in Delaware is state-maintained and is designated as Road13.[8] Despite the fact that the road has been decommissioned, locals in Wicomico and Sussex counties still refer to the route as "Alternate13" or "U.S. Route13A".[13]
US13 Bus. southbound past US13/DE404 north of Bridgeville
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a 2.46-mile (3.96km)[14]business route of US13 that passes through the town of Bridgeville in Sussex County, Delaware. The business route begins at an intersection with US13 and DE404 south of Bridgeville, where it heads west concurrent with DE404 Bus. as four-lane divided South Main Street. The road immediately curves to the north as it passes to the west of businesses, narrowing into a two-lane undivided road. The route heads north-northwest through farmland before heading into Bridgeville, where it passes homes. In the center of town, DE404 Bus. splits from US13 Bus. by heading to the west. US13 Bus. becomes North Main Street and curves to the north-northeast, leaving Bridgeville and heading through farmland with some development. The business route has a junction with Redden Road before it reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with US13/DE404 only accessible to and from the southbound lanes of US13.[16][17] US13 Bus. has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 6,171vehicles at the north end of the DE404 Bus. concurrency to a low of 3,429vehicles at the northern border of Bridgeville.[14]
The route was originally built as a state highway south of Bridgeville by 1920 and north of Bridgeville by 1924[18][19] and received the US13 designation in 1926.[20][21] In 1952, US13 was rerouted to bypass Bridgeville to the east on a new divided highway.[22][23] The former alignment through Bridgeville became US13 Alt. by 1957.[10] US13 Bus. was established in 1970, replacing the previous US13 Alt. designation.[15] In June 2007, a $15-million (equivalent to $21.2million in 2023[24]) project began that realigned the intersection at the southern terminus with US13 and DE404 from a skewed intersection to a perpendicular intersection and built service roads on both sides of US13. The project was intended to improve safety at the intersection, which saw a high accident rate due to its design. Work on the project was completed on May 21, 2009, with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) secretary Carolann Wicks and President of Commissioners for the Town of Bridgeville William Jefferson in attendance at a ceremony.[25][26]
U.S. Route13 Alternate (US13 Alt.) was a 2.46-mile (3.96km)[14]alternate route of US13 that passed through the town of Bridgeville in Sussex County, Delaware. US13 Alt. began at an intersection with US13 and DE404 southeast of Bridgeville, heading northwest concurrent with DE404 on two-lane undivided Main Street. The road entered Bridgeville and headed north through the town, with DE404 splitting from US13 Alt. by heading west along Market Street. US13 Alt. left Bridgeville and continued northeast to its terminus at another intersection with US13.[27] US13 Alt. was designated in 1957 on the former routing of US13 through Bridgeville that was bypassed.[10] US13 Alt. was decommissioned in 1970 when it was replaced with US13 Bus.[15]
U.S. Route13 Alternate (US13 Alt.) is a 5.69-mile (9.16km)[14]alternate route of US13 that passes through the towns of Woodside and Camden in Kent County, Delaware. The route's southern terminus is at US13 and DE15 near Canterbury. From here, US13 Alt. heads northwest concurrent with DE15 on two-lane undivided Upper King Road. The alternate route passes through farmland with some homes before reaching Woodside. In this town, the road heads through residential areas and intersects DE10 Alt., where DE15 splits from US13 Alt. by heading west along DE10 Alt. US13 Alt. leaves Woodside and runs north through a mix of farmfields and woods with some homes, crossing Tidbury Creek to the east of Derby Pond. The route curves northeast and passes a mix of agricultural areas and residential subdivisions before it enters Camden. In this town, the road becomes Main Street and is lined with homes, crossing DE10. US13 Alt. continues past more residences and businesses and crosses Old North Road, where it becomes Old Camden Road and heads to the east of Caesar Rodney High School. The alternate route intersects Caboose Road, a one-way road which heads east to provide access to US13. A short distance later, US13 Alt. reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with US13 in the northern part of Camden east of Brecknock County Park.[16][29] The portion of the route between Voshells Mill Road and a point north of Old North Road in Camden is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a Delaware Byway.[30] US13 Alt. has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 10,269vehicles at the South Street intersection in Camden to a low of 3,845vehicles at the southern border of Woodside.[14]
By 1920, the portion of road south of Woodside was under contract as a state highway while the portion north of there was proposed as one.[18] The state highway was completed by 1924 and was designated as US13 in 1926.[19][20] In 1952, US13 was rerouted to a new divided highway alignment to the east of Woodside and Camden, and US13 Alt. was designated onto the former alignment that was bypassed.[28][9]
Major intersections The entire route is in Kent County.
U.S. Route13 Alternate (US13 Alt.) is a 3.86-mile (6.21km)[14]alternate route of US13 that passes through the downtown area of the city of Dover in Kent County, Delaware. The route's southern terminus is at US13 in Rodney Village; this intersection has no access from southbound US13 Alt. to northbound US13. From here, the alternate route heads north on South Governors Avenue, a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The road passes homes to the west and businesses to the east, entering Dover at the Webbs Lane intersection. The route curves northeast past more commercial establishments prior to bending north and crossing Puncheon Run, passing through residential areas with a few businesses. US13 Alt. heads into more commercial areas and passes to the west of Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus, where it bends to the north-northwest. At this point, the route loses the center turn lane and becomes a two-lane undivided road. The road heads into downtown Dover, where it intersects West Loockerman Street. The route becomes lined with homes before it crosses DE8. Past this intersection, US13 Alt. becomes North Governors Avenue and passes to the west of the Delaware State University Downtown campus before it continues through residential areas. The route splits from North Governors Avenue and heads northeast on Governors Boulevard to an intersection with Walker Road and North State Street. At this intersection, US13 Alt. turns north onto four-lane undivided North State Street and crosses Silver Lake. The road heads into business areas and gains a center left-turn lane while it carries two northbound lanes and one southbound lane. US13 Alt. reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with US13 and Leipsic Road near Dover Motor Speedway and the Bally's Dover hotel, casino, and harness racetrack; this intersection has no access from northbound US13 to southbound US13 Alt.[16][32] The portion of the route between North State Street/Walker Road and the northern terminus at US13 in Dover is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a Delaware Byway.[30] US13 Alt. has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 14,324vehicles at the northern terminus at US13 to a low of 5,311vehicles at the Walker Road intersection.[14]
State Street through Dover was originally designated as part of US13 in 1926, while Governors Avenue became part of a realigned US13 in 1930 after it was reconstructed.[20][21][33] In 1937, the narrow crossing of Silver Lake was replaced with a new, wider bridge.[34] In April 1952, US13 was shifted to a divided highway bypass to the east of downtown Dover.[22][23] US13 Alt. was designated onto the former alignment of US13 through downtown Dover by 1959.[31]
Major intersections The entire route is in Kent County.
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is an 8.19-mile (13.18km)[14]business route of US13 that runs through the heart of the city of Wilmington in New Castle County, Delaware, where US13 bypasses downtown Wilmington to the east, running near Interstate495 (I-495) and the Delaware River. US13 Bus. begins at US13 at the southern border of Wilmington and heads north toward the downtown area, where it splits into a one-way pair. Past downtown, the business route heads through the northeastern part of the city on North Market Street before continuing through suburban Brandywine Hundred on Philadelphia Pike. US13 Bus. reaches its northern terminus at US13 in Claymont.[16][35] US13 Bus. is a four-lane road for much of its length. The portion of the route between A Street and DE9 (4th Street) in Wilmington is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a Delaware Byway.[30] The Philadelphia Pike was built in the 1820s and improved to a state highway by 1920.[18][36] US13 was designated to run through downtown Wilmington and along Philadelphia Pike in 1926.[20][21] US13 Bus. was designated in 1970 when US13 was routed to bypass Wilmington along the former US13 Alt.[15]
U.S. Route13 Alternate (US13 Alt.) was an 8.70-mile (14.00km)[14]alternate route of US13 located in the city of Wilmington in the state of Delaware. The route served as an eastern bypass of the city. US13 Alt. began at an intersection with US13/US202 at the southern edge of the city of Wilmington, heading northeast on Heald Street. The route crossed a Reading Company railroad line at-grade before it curved to the north-northeast and came to a bridge over a Penn Central Transportation Company railroad line. US13 Alt. came to an intersection with the northern terminus of DE9 before it reached Christiana Avenue, where it turned northwest and crossed over the Christina River on a drawbridge. At this point, the alternate route became 4th Street and passed under a Penn Central Transportation Company railroad line before it turned northeast onto the one-way pair of Church Street northbound and Spruce Street southbound. US13 Alt. ran through the eastern portion of the city before both directions rejoined at 11th Street. The route headed northeast and passed over Brandywine Creek, becoming a divided highway called Northeast Boulevard that ran through more of Wilmington. The road curved east and left Wilmington, becoming Governor Printz Boulevard and passing through the community of Edgemoor. Here, US13 Alt. turned northeast and ran parallel to a Penn Central Transportation Company railroad line and the Delaware River, both to the east of the route. The road continued past Holly Oak before it reached Claymont. Here, US13 Alt. turned northwest and came to its northern terminus at an intersection with US13.[27]
Plans were made in 1918 for a bypass to the east of downtown Wilmington for through traffic, avoiding Market Street. The bypass would utilize Heald, Church, and Spruce streets and would construct Northeast Boulevard heading northeast from the Eleventh Street Bridge.[38] The bypass was needed as Philadelphia Pike had steep grades that were difficult for trucks at the time.[39] In 1934, the state highway department began work on this bypass. Among them was the improvement of Church and Spruce streets by widening and paving them. In addition, the Northeast Boulevard was built, running from the Eleventh Street Bridge over the Brandywine Creek northeast to Edgemoor Road in Edgemoor. Construction began this year on an extension of the road northeast to Holly Oak.[40] The following year, the Northeast Boulevard was completed between Edgemoor and Holly Oak. The construction of the Northeast Boulevard led to increased residential and industrial development along the route.[41] In the later part of 1936, construction began on the portion of the Wilmington bypass along Heald Street along with Northeast Boulevard (renamed Governor Printz Boulevard) between Holly Oak and Claymont. Both of these projects were finished in late 1937 and completed a bypass of the portion of US13 through Wilmington.[34] This bypass route was designated as US13 Alt. in 1939.[37] In 1939, construction was authorized to widen Governor Printz Boulevard into a divided highway.[42] The widening of the road to a divided highway was completed in 1940.[43] In 1942, a bridge was completed on Heald Street that eliminated the grade crossing with a Pennsylvania Railroad line.[44] US13 Alt. was widened to four lanes between 11th Street and 30th Street in Wilmington in 1956.[45] In 1970, US13 was rerouted to bypass downtown Wilmington on the US13 Alt. alignment while US13 Bus. was designated onto the former US13 alignment from the southern border of Wilmington to Claymont.[15]
U.S. Route13 Bypass (US13 Byp.) was a bypass of a portion of US13 between Claymont, Delaware and Chester, Pennsylvania, bypassing Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. The bypass route split from US13 in Claymont, heading northwest on Naamans Road (present-day DE92) before turning northeast onto Ridge Road. The road crossed into Pennsylvania and continued along Ridge Road through Lower Chichester Township, passing through the community of Linwood, where it intersected PA452. The bypass then continued through Trainer. US13 Byp. continued into Chester and became 9th Street, ending at US13 at the intersection of 9th Street and Highland Avenue at which point US13 continued along 9th Street.[46]Pennsylvania Route891 (PA891) was designated to run between the Delaware border and US13 in Chester along Ridge Road and 9th Street by 1940.[47] US13 Byp. was designated by 1950, replacing the PA891 designation in Pennsylvania.[46] US13 Byp. was decommissioned in the 1960s.[48]
U.S. Route13 Business (US13 Bus.) is a business route of US13 in Chester, Pennsylvania, that follows the former alignment of US13 along Post Road, 4th Street, Highland Avenue, and 9th Street between US13 and PA291 in Trainer and US13 at Morton Avenue in Chester. US13 Bus. begins at an intersection with US13 and the western terminus of PA291 in the borough of Trainer, heading northeast along two-lane undivided Post Road. The road continues through urban residential and industrial areas as it enters the city of Chester, where the road name becomes West 4th Street. US13 Bus. passes near urban homes and businesses, turning northwest onto Highland Avenue. The route passes under Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad line east of Highland Avenue station serving SEPTA's Wilmington/Newark Line before running past more homes and turning northeast onto West 9th Street. US13 Bus. continues through urban neighborhoods and passes the former Community Hospital of Chester. The route comes to an partial interchange with the US322 freeway providing access to and from the Commodore Barry Bridge over the Delaware River. Following this, the road continues past urban residences and businesses, passing south of Chester High School and crossing Chester Creek. Past this, the name of the road changes to East 9th Street. US13 Bus. reaches a junction with the southern terminus of PA352 and Avenue of the States and continues northeast to intersect PA320, which is routed on the one-way pair of Madison Street northbound and Upland Street southbound. The route reaches its northern terminus at US13 at Morton Avenue.[51][52]
In November 2020, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials approved the realignment of US13 through Chester along PA291 and Morton Avenue and the establishment of US13 Bus. along the former alignment of US13.[53] Sign changes were completed on February 11, 2022.[50]
U.S. Route13 Bypass (US13 Byp.) was a bypass of US13 between Chester and Collingdale in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The route began at US13 in Chester, heading north on Kerlin Street. US13 Byp. crossed the Chester Creek into Upland, where it turned east onto Upland Avenue, heading northeast back into Chester. Upon crossing PA352, the bypass route headed east on 22nd Street, intersecting PA320 before crossing the Ridley Creek out of Chester. Here, US13 Byp. continued northeast along MacDade Boulevard through suburban areas. The route crossed PA420 north of Prospect Park before it reached its northern terminus at an intersection with US13 in Collingdale.[54]Pennsylvania Route520 (PA520) was first designated by 1930 to follow 22nd Street and MacDade Boulevard between PA352 in Chester and US13 in Darby.[55] US13 Byp. was designated in the 1940s, replacing the PA520 designation along 22nd Street and MacDade Boulevard.[56] US13 Byp. was decommissioned in the 1960s.[48]
Major intersections The entire route was in Delaware County.
U.S. Route13 Bypass (US13 Byp.) was a bypass of a portion of US13 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It split from US13 in Darby, Delaware County. The route headed north on Main Street before becoming Lansdowne Avenue and running through Yeadon, Lansdowne, and Upper Darby Township. In Llanerch, US13 Byp. turned northeast to form a concurrency with US1 on Township Line Road and crossing PA3. The two routes continued northeast and became City Avenue, forming the border between Montgomery County to the northwest and Philadelphia to the southeast. Along City Avenue, the bypass route intersected US30 Byp. (Haverford Road/Avenue), US30, and PA23 (Conshohocken State Road/Conshohocken Avenue). At an interchange with I-80S, US1 split from US13 Byp. and US13 Byp. crossed the Schuylkill River and fully entered Philadelphia. Here, the route came to an interchange with US422 (Ridge Avenue) and Lincoln Drive and ran east along East River Drive to reach its northern terminus at an intersection with US1/US13 (Hunting Park Avenue) in the Hunting Park section of the city.[54] US13 Byp. was first designated by 1940, where it followed Main Street and Lansdowne Avenue to Llanerch, where it picked up a concurrency with US1 Byp. and continued northeast along Township Line Road, City Avenue, East River Drive, Hunting Park Avenue, and Roosevelt Boulevard to Levick Street, where US13 Byp. ended and US13 continued along Levick Street.[57] By 1950, the northern terminus of US13 Byp. was cut back to Broad Street along Roosevelt Boulevard, being replaced by mainline US13 north of there.[56] The northern terminus was further scaled back to Hunting Park Avenue and East River Drive by 1960, with more of mainline US13 replacing the bypass designation. Also by this time, the US1 Byp. concurrency was removed, with mainline US1 running concurrent with US13 Byp. on Township Line Road, City Avenue, and East River Drive.[54] US13 Byp. was decommissioned in the 1960s.[48]
