View south along US 13 Bus. past its northern terminus at US 13 just north of Pocomoke City

U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) is a 2.48-mile (3.99 km)^[6] business route of US 13 that passes through Pocomoke City in Worcester and Somerset counties in Maryland.

The route begins south of Pocomoke City; US 13's four-lane divided mainline curves away to the right around the town, while US 13 Bus. continues straight ahead as a two-lane town street.

After intersecting Maryland Route 366 (MD 366), the route connects with the original southern terminus of US 113, the latter having been rolled back to terminate at mainline US 13. For a time, the marooned segment was part of MD 250 but is now designated MD 250A. 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 US 13 at the southern terminus of MD 364.

The route was originally created as a segment of MD 675 by 1975, when the four-lane divided Ocean Highway opened around the eastern and northern edges of the town for US 13, allowing through traffic to avoid congested inner-city streets.^[7] The road was eventually designated US 13 Bus.

Location	Fruitland–Salisbury, Maryland
Length	8.14 mi^[6] (13.10 km)
Existed	1982–present

U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) is a business route of US 13 in the state of Maryland. The highway runs 8.14 miles (13.10 km) between US 13 south of Fruitland and US 13 and US 50 on the north side of Salisbury. US 13 Bus. is a four-lane highway with divided and undivided sections that provides access to downtown Salisbury, where the highway intersects US 50 Bus., Salisbury University, and Fruitland, where the highway meets MD 513. US 13 Bus. was constructed as a new alignment of US 13 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. US 13 Bus. was designated when US 13 was moved to the Salisbury Bypass upon its completion in 1982.

Location	Delmar, Maryland–Seaford, Delaware
Length	18.76 mi^[6]^[8] (30.19 km)

U.S. Route 13 Alternate (US 13 Alt.) was a 18.76-mile (30.19 km) alternate route extending from US 13 in Delmar, Maryland, to Hearne's Mill near Seaford, Delaware. US 13 Alt. began at US 13 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 MD 455, 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 US 13 to the east. Farther north, US 13 Alt. entered Laurel, where it became Central Avenue. In Laurel, the route intersected DE 24 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 US 13 to the east. The route entered the town of Blades, where it headed north on and reached a junction with DE 20 at High Street. At this point, DE 20 turned north for a concurrency with US 13 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, DE 20 split from US 13 Alt. by turning west onto Stein Highway. From this point, US 13 Alt. left Seaford and became Bridgeville Highway, heading northeast through rural areas to its northern terminus at an intersection with US 13 at Hearne's Mill.^[9][11]

US 13 Alt. was designated in 1954 following the completion of a new divided highway alignment of US 13 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 MD 675.^[12] The former route in Delaware is state-maintained and is designated as Road 13.^[8] Despite the fact that the road has been decommissioned, locals in Wicomico and Sussex counties still refer to the route as "Alternate 13" or "U.S. Route 13A".^[13]

US 13 Bus. southbound past US 13/DE 404 north of Bridgeville

U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) is a 2.46-mile (3.96 km)^[14] business route of US 13 that passes through the town of Bridgeville in Sussex County, Delaware. The business route begins at an intersection with US 13 and DE 404 south of Bridgeville, where it heads west concurrent with DE 404 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, DE 404 Bus. splits from US 13 Bus. by heading to the west. US 13 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 US 13/DE 404 only accessible to and from the southbound lanes of US 13.^[16][17] US 13 Bus. has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 6,171 vehicles at the north end of the DE 404 Bus. concurrency to a low of 3,429 vehicles 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 US 13 designation in 1926.^[20][21] In 1952, US 13 was rerouted to bypass Bridgeville to the east on a new divided highway.^[22][23] The former alignment through Bridgeville became US 13 Alt. by 1957.^[10] US 13 Bus. was established in 1970, replacing the previous US 13 Alt. designation.^[15] In June 2007, a $15-million (equivalent to $19.2 million in 2021^[24]) project began that realigned the intersection at the southern terminus with US 13 and DE 404 from a skewed intersection to a perpendicular intersection and built service roads on both sides of US 13. 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]

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. US 13 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 DE 8. Past this intersection, US 13 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, US 13 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. US 13 Alt. reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with US 13 and Leipsic Road near Dover Motor Speedway and the Bally's Dover hotel, casino, and harness racetrack; this intersection has no access from northbound US 13 to southbound US 13 Alt.^[16][32] The portion of the route between North State Street/Walker Road and the northern terminus at US 13 in Dover is part of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a Delaware Byway.^[30] US 13 Alt. has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 14,324 vehicles at the northern terminus at US 13 to a low of 5,311 vehicles at the Walker Road intersection.^[14]

State Street through Dover was originally designated as part of US 13 in 1926, while Governors Avenue became part of a realigned US 13 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, US 13 was shifted to a divided highway bypass to the east of downtown Dover.^[22][23] US 13 Alt. was designated onto the former alignment of US 13 through downtown Dover by 1959.^[31]

U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) is an 8.19-mile (13.18 km)^[14] business route of US 13 that runs through the heart of the city of Wilmington in New Castle County, Delaware, where US 13 bypasses downtown Wilmington to the east, running near Interstate 495 (I-495) and the Delaware River. US 13 Bus. begins at US 13 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. US 13 Bus. reaches its northern terminus at US 13 in Claymont.^[16][35] US 13 Bus. is a four-lane road for much of its length. The portion of the route between A Street and DE 9 (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] US 13 was designated to run through downtown Wilmington and along Philadelphia Pike in 1926.^[20][21] US 13 Bus. was designated in 1970 when US 13 was routed to bypass Wilmington along the former US 13 Alt.^[15]

U.S. Route 13 Alternate (US 13 Alt.) was an 8.70-mile (14.00 km)^[14] alternate route of US 13 located in the city of Wilmington in the state of Delaware. The route served as an eastern bypass of the city. US 13 Alt. began at an intersection with US 13/US 202 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. US 13 Alt. came to an intersection with the northern terminus of DE 9 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. US 13 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, US 13 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, US 13 Alt. turned northwest and came to its northern terminus at an intersection with US 13.^[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 US 13 through Wilmington.^[34] This bypass route was designated as US 13 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] US 13 Alt. was widened to four lanes between 11th Street and 30th Street in Wilmington in 1956.^[45] In 1970, US 13 was rerouted to bypass downtown Wilmington on the US 13 Alt. alignment while US 13 Bus. was designated onto the former US 13 alignment from the southern border of Wilmington to Claymont.^[15]

At an interchange with I-80S, US 1 split from US 13 Byp. and US 13 Byp. crossed the Schuylkill River and fully entered Philadelphia. Here, the route came to an interchange with US 422 (Ridge Avenue) and Lincoln Drive and ran east along East River Drive to reach its northern terminus at an intersection with US 1/US 13 (Hunting Park Avenue) in the Hunting Park section of the city.^[54] US 13 Byp. was first designated by 1940, where it followed Main Street and Lansdowne Avenue to Llanerch, where it picked up a concurrency with US 1 Byp. and continued northeast along Township Line Road, City Avenue, East River Drive, Hunting Park Avenue, and Roosevelt Boulevard to Levick Street, where US 13 Byp. ended and US 13 continued along Levick Street.^[57] By 1950, the northern terminus of US 13 Byp. was cut back to Broad Street along Roosevelt Boulevard, being replaced by mainline US 13 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 US 13 replacing the bypass designation. Also by this time, the US 1 Byp. concurrency was removed, with mainline US 1 running concurrent with US 13 Byp. on Township Line Road, City Avenue, and East River Drive.^[54] US 13 Byp. was decommissioned in the 1960s.^[48]
