View south along US 1 Alt. and west along US 50 in Washington DC

Route description

In DC, US 1 Alt. splits from US 1 at the intersection of Constitution Avenue NW and 6th Street NW. US 1 goes up 6th Street NW on its way to the intersection of Rhode Island Avenue NW. US 1 Alt. stays on Constitution Avenue NW/NE as it traverses Capitol Hill, then follows Maryland Avenue NE, going around Stanton Park, to the Starburst Intersection comprising Maryland Avenue, Florida Avenue, H Street, Bladensburg Road, 15th Street NE, and the DC Streetcar line. US 1 Alt. then follows Bladensburg Road Northeast, which takes it into Prince George's County, Maryland, after an at-grade intersection with New York Avenue NE (US 50) and after passing under Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. After passing through Colmar Manor and Cottage City, the road enters Bladensburg and turns onto Baltimore Avenue toward Hyattsville, where it rejoins US 1 at Rhode Island Avenue.

US 1 Alt. crosses Eastern Avenue NE and enters the state of Maryland from DC in Prince George's County. The route heads northeast along the partially four-lane divided Bladensburg Road passing industrial areas and warehouses on the northwest and the Fort Lincoln Funeral Home and Cemetery on the southeast straddling the southeastern boundary of the town of Cottage City. US 1 Alt. crosses over Dueling Creek adjacent to Bladensburg Dueling Grounds on the southeast before heading into a commercial area where the route begins to follow the northwestern boundary of the town of Colmar Manor. In this area, the route insects the southern terminus of Maryland Route 208 (MD 208; 38th Street), before continuing along the town line and passing through a mix of residential and commercial areas. US 1 Alt. leaves the boundary between Colmar Manor and Cottage City as it crosses over the Anacostia River just to the southeast of the confluence between its Northeast and Northwest branches and enters the town of Bladensburg. Immediately after crossing the river, the route's median for its directional Y intersection with the eastern terminus of MD 450 (Annapolis Road), which is the old alignment of US 50 in the capital region of Maryland which heads east into downtown Bladensburg. In the middle of the insection is a Maryland memorial for World War I soldiers known as the Peace Cross.

Past MD 450, US 1 Alt. curves north and its name changes to Baltimore Avenue passing industrial areas on the east and the Old Port of Bladensburg Community Park on the west. The route leaves Bladensburg at its crossing over the Northeast Branch and enters the city of Hyattsville. The route narrows to a two-lane undivided road and continues through a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. US 1 Alt. reaches an at-grade railroad crossing with a component of the Y junction between CSX Transportation's Capital Subdivision line and its Alexandria Extension. A short distance past the crossing, the route enters a long bridge with a sweeping curve that crosses over the Capital Subdivision before the route reaches its northern terminus at US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in downtown Hyattsville. Baltimore Avenue turns northward on US 1, taking over that route name from US 1 Alt. through the northern suburbs of Prince George's County including Riverdale Park, University Park, College Park, Beltsville, and Laurel.

Quick Facts U.S. Highway 1 Alternate, Location ...

U.S. Highway 1 Alternate (US 1 Alt.) was an alternate route of US 1 in St. Augustine, Florida, between the 1950s and early 1970s. It began on King Street east of the San Sebastian River on Malaga Drive, then after the intersection of Carrera Street followed the east side of the Florida East Coast Railway main line along the San Sebastian River, moving further to the northeast until reaching San Marco Boulevard.

A realignment project for US 1 brought it east of what is today Old Dixie Highway near what is today San Lorenzo Cemetery,[50] keeping the route closer to the west coast of the San Sebastian River, which also included a bridge over Oyster Pond. After crossing King Street, the new route made a right curve toward a new bridge over the river, then turned back to the north at Malaga Drive and Carrera Street.

Today, this route is part of mainline US 1. SR 5A was downgraded to a county road along the west side of US 1.

U.S. Route 1 Bypass (US 1 Byp.) was a bypass of a segment of US 1 from Swarthmore to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. US 1 Byp. began at US 1 (Baltimore Pike) north of Swarthmore, heading north concurrent with PA 320. The route split from PA 320 by turning northeast onto State Road. US 1 Byp. continued northeast along Township Line Road, becoming concurrent with US 13 Byp. and intersecting PA 3 in Llanerch. 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 US 30 Byp. (Haverford Road and Avenue), US 30, and PA 23 (Conshohocken State Road/Conshohocken Avenue). Upon crossing the Schuylkill River, the bypass routes intersected US 309 (Lincoln Drive) and US 422 Alt. (Ridge Avenue) and continued east along East River Drive. US 1 Byp./US 13 Byp. continued northeast along Hunting Park Avenue, intersecting US 309 Truck (Germantown Avenue) before ending at US 1/US 13/US 611 (Broad Street). US 1/US 13 continued northeast at this point on Roosevelt Boulevard.[56] US 1 Byp. was first designated by 1940 to run from Swarthmore to Northeast Philadelphia, continuing past Broad Street along Roosevelt Boulevard.[57] By 1950, Roosevelt Boulevard became mainline US 1.[56] US 1 Byp. was decommissioned by 1960, having been replaced with mainline US 1 along State Road, Township Line Road, City Avenue, and Hunting Park Avenue.[58]
