Washington, D.C. alternate route[]

U.S. Route 1 Alternate
Location	Washington, DC–Hyattsville, MD
Length	6.8 mi[2] (10.9 km)

U.S. Route 1 Alternate is an alternate route forming a loop off U.S. Route 1 between Washington, D.C., and Hyattsville, Maryland.

Route description

In the District of Columbia, U.S. 1 Alternate splits from U.S. 1 at the intersection of Constitution Avenue NW and 6th St. NW. U.S. 1 goes up 6th St. NW on its way to the intersection of Rhode Island Ave. NW. U.S. 1 Alternate 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. U.S. 1 Alternate then follows Bladensburg Road NE, which takes it into Prince George's County, Maryland after an at-grade intersection with New York Avenue NE (U.S. 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 U.S. 1 at Rhode Island Avenue.

US 1 Alternate crosses and enters the state of Maryland from the District of Columbia 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 on the southeast straddling the southeastern boundary of the town of Cottage City. US 1 Alternate crosses over Dueling Creek adjacent to the 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 (38th Street), before continuing along the town line and passing through a mix of residential and commercial areas. US 1 Alternate 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 Alternate curves north and its name changes to Baltimore Avenue passing industrial areas on the east and the 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 Alternate reaches an at-grade railroad crossing with a component of the wye junction between CSX'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 Alternate through the northern suburbs of Prince George's County including Riverdale Park, University Park, College Park, Beltsville, and Laurel.

History

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

Length	3.243 mi[1] (5.219 km)
Existed	~1959–present

The segment from SR 16 to the northern terminus at US 1 is maintained by the City of St. Augustine, and is the only AASHTO defined road in Florida that is not under state maintenance.

US 1 Business begins at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and King Street (County Road 214). US 1 Business travels east on King Street, with a short water crossing of the San Sebastian River two blocks east of US 1. The route continues, passing the southern end of Flagler College, and then becoming a one way pair for four blocks, with King Street taking eastbound traffic and Cathedral Place, one block north, taking westbound traffic. At the intersection with State Road A1A just west of the Bridge of Lions towards Anastasia Island, US 1 Business heads north as a two way road, starting a concurrency with SR A1A, now known as North Ocean Boulevard, going through the heart of St. Augustine. US 1 Bus and SR A1A run along the west shore of the Matanzas River then curves to the northwest in front of the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. At West Castillo Drive, the name changes to San Marco Avenue. At May Street, SR A1A heads east, splitting off from US 1 Business. A bit further north, it intersects with the eastern terminus of State Road 16 at Picolata Road. Six blocks to the north, US 1 Business terminates at US 1.^[5]

They immediately curve to the west-northwest and begin paralleling some railroad tracks of CSX. Just past Harrison Street, they pass Memorial Stadium. On a curve to a nearly due west direction, they leave the CSX tracks and cross over the city drainage canal. They curve to the northwest and travel under a railroad bridge for the CSX tracks. Immediately after this bridge is an intersection with US 84/SR 38 (Plant Avenue) and the eastern terminus of Carswell Avenue. The business routes turn to the right and travel northeast on a concurrency with US 84/SR 38 for approximately 1,000 feet (300 m). The five highways immediately begin paralleling a different CSX line and pass an office of the Georgia Department of Labor. US 1 Bus./US 23 Bus./SR 4 Bus. then turns left onto State Street, also signed as Ossie Davis Parkway, and travel to the northwest. They curve to the north-northwest and pass Wacona Elementary School. An intersection with Tebeau Street leads to a Mayo Clinic hospital. The three highways curve to the north-northwest. Between Charlton Street and Clough Street, the southbound lanes meet the northern terminus of Johnson Avenue, a one-way street, at a partial interchange. Just north of Abner Street, they begin paralleling a CSX rail line. They pass Wacona Elementary School They cross over Kettle Creek, where they leave the city limits of Waycross. They curve to the west-northwest and leave the rail line. An intersection with the northern terminus of Airport road leads to the Erin Johnson Softball Complex, Ware State Prison, St. Illa Substance Abuse Center, the Ware County Sheriff's Office, and the Southland Waste Transfer Station. This intersection is just north of the Waycross–Ware County Airport. They continue in a northwesterly direction and then reach their northern terminus, a second intersection with the US 1/US 23/SR 4 mainline. Except for the far northern end, the entire length of US 1 Bus. is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.^[10]

US 1 Bus./SR 4 Bus. was established in 1996, replacing the old mainline US 1/SR 4 through Waycross, via Memorial Drive, Plant Avenue, State Street, and Alma Highway.^[8][9]

The entire route is in Ware County.
