concurrently with various
state routes. It uses
SR 4/
SR 15 from
Florida to
Folkston,
SR 23 from Folkston to
Glennville, and
SR 73 from Glennville to
South Carolina. Large portions of US 301 in Georgia are
concurrent with
US 25. US 301 enters
Georgia from
Florida concurrent with
US 1/
US 23, also designated as SR 4/
SR 15, on a bridge over the
St. Marys River. In
Folkston,
SR 23/
SR 121 join. US 1/US 23/SR 4/SR 15/SR 121 split to the northwest at a junction north of Folkston, leaving only US 301 and SR 23 to head north across
US 82/
SR 520 at
Nahunta to
Jesup. At Jesup, US 301 crosses
US 341/
SR 27, where US 25 turns from US 341 onto US 301, and then merges with
US 84/
SR 38. The combined routes (US 25/US 84/US 301/SR 23/SR 38) cross the
Altamaha River to the junction with
SR 57 in
Ludowici. There US 84 and SR 38 continue northeast, while US 25/US 301/SR 23 turn northwest with SR 57. SR 23 and SR 57 split off to the northwest at
Glennville. SR 73 begins there, taking US 25 and US 301 north from Glenville across
US 280/
SR 30 at
Claxton and
I-16/
SR 404 to
Statesboro. US 25 and US 301 meet
US 80/

Sylvania to the
Savannah River and the border with
South Carolina. junction in

U.S. 601 between
Bamberg and
Orangeburg, then
I-95/
U.S. 15 Santee, at Exit 97 before all three move across
Lake Marion. The
U.S. 15-301 multiplex leaves I-95 at Exit 102, running in close proximity to I-95, but
U.S. 15 breaks away at
Summerton. Other concurrencies include
U.S. 521 in
Manning,
U.S. 52 between
Effingham and just south of
Florence,
U.S. 76 eastbound from east of Florence until
Pee Dee, and finally joins
U.S. 501 in

South of the Border roadside attraction complex at the interchange with
I-95 on the North Carolina-South Carolina border.
North Carolina US 301-501 enters
North Carolina at the interchange with
I-95 where it passes the
South of the Border roadside attraction complex, then is closely paralleled by
I-95 throughout
North Carolina. Concurrencies include
US 501 between Latta (South Carolina) and Rowland,
I-95 between exit 10 and exit 22 in Lumberton,
I-95 BL in Fayetteville, and

Virginia Entering Virginia just south of the community of
Skippers, the route is paralleled by
I-95 though much of the
Southside region of Virginia, often times serving as the
frontage road for I-95, deviating from it only in the city of
Emporia, where it takes a more direct route through the center of the city. In the
Richmond metro area, it passes through the historic centers of the cities of
Petersburg (where it meets its parent route,
U.S. 1) and
Colonial Heights. Passing east of
Chester, the two conjoined routes enter
Richmond and pass through the
Manchester portion of the city along a major boulevard, crossing the
James River along the
Robert E. Lee Memorial Bridge over
Belle Isle Park, and following Belvidere Street and Chamberlayne Avenue through central Richmond. At the extreme northern border of Richmond, the two routes split again, with U.S. 301 veering to the northeast past the community of
Mechanicsville, Virginia and turning back to the north. Traveling through numerous rural areas and small communities of central Virginia, the route turns northeast along a bypass around
Bowling Green and passing close to
Fort Walker as it turns to a more east-northeasterly direction, leaving the state in
Dahlgren on the
Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge across the
Potomac River.
Maryland U.S. Route 301 enters Maryland along the
Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge across the Potomac River from Virginia. A four-lane highway through most of the state, it is known locally as the Crain Highway and it connects several rural communities and small
exurbs at the outer edges of the
Washington metropolitan area, connecting communities such as
La Plata,
St. Charles,
Waldorf and
Upper Marlboro. The route follows a generally northeast-southwest alignment until
Bowie, where it leaves the Crain Highway (which continues on as
Maryland Route 3) and joins the John Hanson Highway/
U.S. Route 50, which also carries the hidden designation of I-595. The John Hanson Highway is a
freeway that travels roughly due east-west and carries both U.S. 50 and U.S. 301 into and through
Annapolis, where the name changes to
Blue Star Memorial Highway. The freeway continues onto Maryland's
Eastern Shore via the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge, passing across
Kent Island. At the end of the freeway, the two routes split, each following a four-lane divided road through the eastern shore, with U.S. 50 going generally south and U.S. 301 going generally north. The four lane divided road continues generally northeast through the rural Eastern Shore region before crossing into Delaware and becoming a freeway.
Delaware US 301 in Delaware is a four-lane
tolled freeway that enters the state from Maryland and heads northeast past
Middletown before coming to its northern terminus at an interchange with
Delaware Route 1 in
Biddles Corner, south of the
Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge over the
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in
St. Georges. The new alignment opened in January 2019 and replaces the former routing that ended at
U.S. Route 40 in
Glasgow. ==History==
