In Maryland, U.S. 1 Alternate follows Bladensburg Road and then Baltimore Avenue into Hyattsville, where it rejoins U.S. 1 at Rhode Island Avenue.

In the 1940s, this route was known as Bypass US 1, and was cosigned with U.S. Route 50 Alternate and Maryland Route 411.

U.S. Route 1 Business
Location Penndel, Pennsylvania
Commissioned 1989-present

U.S. Route 1 Business is an 8-mile (13 km)[1] long business route of U.S. Route 1 in south eastern Pennsylvania, USA. The southern terminus of the route is at US 1 in the Bensalem Township community of Oakford, west of Penndel. The northern terminus is at US 1 north of the Falls Township community of Fallsington. US 1 Business runs along the Lincoln Highway for its entire length.

Although US 1 Business is the third auxiliary route of US 1 to exist in Pennsylvania, it is the only route that is still active.

When a bypass of Penndel was completed to the north of the borough in 1989, US 1 was moved from the Lincoln Highway to the expressway, allowing US 1 Business to occupy the Lincoln Highway in its place.

U.S. Route 1 Bypass is a 4.3-mile (6.9 km)[5] long bypass of U.S. Route 1 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine. Most of its north section, northeast of the Portsmouth Circle where it meets the Blue Star Turnpike and Spaulding Turnpike, is built to rudimentary freeway standards, with no cross traffic but driveway access. The southern portion is similarly constructed, although there are two four-way intersections with traffic lights just south of the circle and a third at its south end, just before intersecting with US 1.

The southern terminus is at US 1 in Portsmouth. The northern terminus is at US 1 in Kittery. Between its termini, US 1 Bypass intersects Interstate 95, U.S. Route 4, New Hampshire Route 16, and the Spaulding Turnpike in Portsmouth, as well as State Route 103 in Kittery.

The bypass crosses the Piscataqua River on the 1940 Sarah Mildred Long Bridge, a lift bridge maintained by the Maine-New Hampshire Interstate Bridge Authority.

2.748 miles (4.422 km) of the route are in New Hampshire;[6] 1.6 miles (2.6 km) are in Maine.
