U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Business) is a business route of U.S. Route 13 in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs between US 13 south of Fruitland and US 13 and US 50 on the north side of Salisbury. US 13 Business is a four-lane highway with divided and undivided sections that provides access to Salisbury University, downtown Salisbury, where the highway intersects US 50 Business, and Fruitland, where the highway meets MD 513. US 13 Business 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 Business was designated when US 13 was moved to the Salisbury Bypass upon its completion in 1981. ==Route description== US 13 Business begins at a partial interchange with US 13, which continues south as Ocean Highway and heads north as the Salisbury Bypass. There is no access from southbound US 13 Business to northbound US 13 or from southbound US 13 to northbound US 13 Business. US 13 Business heads north as Fruitland Boulevard, a four-lane divided highway that parallels Norfolk Southern Railway's Delmarva Secondary track on the west past farms and scattered residences. Upon entering the city of Fruitland, the business route intersects Camden Avenue, which is an old alignment of US 13. After crossing Division Street, US 13 Business enters an industrial area and crosses Main Street. The highway continues north and intersects MD 513 (Cedar Lane) in a commercial area before leaving Fruitland by traversing Tonytank Pond.〔〔 US 13 Business's name changes to Salisbury Boulevard and leaves the immediate vicinity of the railroad track as the highway passes through the campus of Salisbury University. At the northern edge of the campus, the business route meets College Avenue and reduces to a five-lane undivided highway with center turn lane. After passing through a commercial strip, US 13 Business performs an S-curve to the east and crosses Division Street right after the highway again begins to closely parallel the Delmarva Secondary railroad track. The business route crosses the South Prong of the Wicomico River and intersects Main Street, the old alignment of US 50. US 13 Business passes West Church Street and the combined intersection of Broad Street and East Church Street on either side of the overpass of US 50 Business. East Church Street, which is one-way eastbound, connects traffic from eastbound US 50 Business to US 13 Business, while Broad Street, which is one-way westbound, is used to access westbound US 50 Business from US 13 Business. US 13 Business intersects Isabella Street and passes historic Union Station before crossing a railroad spur. The business route intersects Naylor Street, which provides access to US 13's original alignment, Division Street, before the highway temporarily expands to a divided highway to cross the Delmarva Secondary line. US 13 Business crosses Peggy Branch and passes through a commercial area before expanding to a divided highway again immediately before its northern terminus at the Salisbury Bypass adjacent to The Centre at Salisbury. US 50 follows both directions of the Salisbury Bypass, while US 13 heads south on the bypass and north on Salisbury Boulevard. There is no access between northbound US 13 Business and westbound US 50.〔〔 US 13 Business is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial for its entire length.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U.S. Route 13 Business (Salisbury, Maryland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
