Bannered routes of U.S. Route 13
Encyclopedia
U.S. Route 13 runs along the Atlantic coastline for over 500 miles (804.7 km), passing through five states. Along its route, it possessed numerous bannered routes, which are all loops off the mainline US 13. At present, there are at least fourteen bannered routes in existence: three in North Carolina, five in Virginia, two in Maryland, and four in Delaware. Five others have existed in the past, but have been deleted.

As it travels deeper into the city, it intersects Washington Street, which carries Virginia State Route 337
, and US 13 Business turns eastward onto this street. It circles the city on this street until it meets the business routes of U.S. Route 58 and U.S. Route 460. Here, US 13 Business joins this roadway, known as Portsmouth Boulevard, leaving VA 337 to continue on its own northward.

, weaving across the parent US 13 several times. It begins in Onley in the south with an intersection with US 13, leaving the mainline route to the east and following Coastal Avenue. It closely parallels a railroad alignment as both of them pass under the mainline US 13 with no interchange, now following the route to its west. SR 650 intersects that route just before it curves to the northeast, meeting multiple intersections with SR 316
(Greenbush Avenue) to the north and SR 126
(Fairgrounds Road). Fairgrounds Road continues eastward, merging into US 13 Business and taking on the name Tasley Road as it passes through Tasley

After intersecting MD 366
the route connects with the original southern terminus of US 113
, the latter having been rolled back to terminate at mainline US 13. For a time, the marooned segment was part of MD 250, but is now designated MD 250A. Continuing north the route heads towards the city waterfront and business district, passing through a pair of intersections with traffic lights permanently set to "flash" mode due to lack of traffic.
The route soon reaches the Pocomoke River
, crossing it on a drawbridge that was first constructed in the 1920s, reconstructed in the 1990s, and continues in active service today. After crossing the river the route heads out of town into rural surroundings before terminating on US 13 at the southern terminus of MD 364
.
The route was originally created as a segment of Maryland Route 675
by 1975, when the four-lane divided Ocean Highway opened around the eastern and northern edges of the town for US 13, allowing through traffic to avoid congested inner-city streets. The road was eventually designated US 13 Business.

into downtown Wilmington on the Walnut Street Bridge northbound and the South Market Street Bridge
southbound. At the intersection with Delaware Route 48
