Special routes of U.S. Route 301

Statesboro bypass

U.S. Route 301 Bypass (US 301 Bypass), also signed as SR 73 Bypass, is a four-lane bypass of US 301. It runs south–north east and south of the city of Statesboro, Georgia. US 301 bypass, along with US 25 Bypass, makes up the Veterans Memorial Parkway, which forms a near circle around the city.

The bypass begins south of the city at the intersection with US 25 Bypass. It runs east along the perimeter of Georgia Southern University. It follows the perimeter of the university, turning northeast towards Fair Road (SR 67), where it breaks off from the university perimeter and turns northward. After turning north, the bypass intersects with Northside Drive (US 80/SR 26), SR 24, and finally US 301 north.

The Veterans Memorial Parkway was commissioned in the early 1990s. Both US 25 Bypass and US 301 Bypass were completed at the same time as two-lane highways. Several years later, US 25 Bypass was widened to become a four-lane divided highway. In March 2007, work began on the widening of US 301 Bypass. The bypass was completed in October 2008.

US 301 Bypass, commonly referred to simply as "the bypass", has become one of the most congested roads in Statesboro. The widening of the road, which was supposed to be completed by 2006, was not completed due to a faulty contractor. A new contractor was hired by the Georgia Department of Transportation, and work began in March 2007. The bypass has become an attractive place for new businesses, and has been crucial in the growth and expansion of the greater Statesboro area.

Rocky Mount business loop

It begins at a three way intersection from Crater Road (US 301) and Walnut Boulevard which veers diagonal to the left as Sycamore Street. Before reaching downtown Petersburg, US Alt. 301 crosses Interstate 85/US 460 with no access. In the downtown area, it joins northbound US 1, eastbound Business US 460 and SR 36 on a concurrency along Wythe Street while southbound US 301 Alt. uses Washington Street on a one-way pair. Alt. 301 turns left onto Adams Street along with US 1 and ending at Bank/Bollingbrook Streets (US 301).

Dade City truck route

Truck U.S. Route 98-301 was a truck bypass of the concurrency of U.S. Routes 98 & 301 in Dade City, Florida. The road is also unsigned State Road 533. In February 2007, this section was converted into the main branch of the US 98-301 concurrency.

Ocala alternate route

Upon reaching Northeast Eighth Road, former US ALT 301 becomes Jacksonville Road, a street name it carries until it terminates with US 301 in Citra.

Sylvania business loop

Formerly U.S. Route 301 Business (US 301 Business), the one segment of SR 73 that's not concurrent with US 301 begins at the US 301/SR 21/SR 73 Loop bypass around western Sylvania. The road, which is named West Ogeechee Street curves northeast in front of a former segment of the road which also leads to a former segment of SR 21, then passes the northbound frontage road for the Sylvania Bypass. It travels straight northeast and southwest along random commercial development until it curves to the east and encounters the intersection of SR 21 Business (Mims Road) with turning ramps at both the northwest and northeast corners. The SR 21 Business/SR 73 concurrency begins and the two highways travel to the east for just over 2,000 feet (610 m), part of which uses a bridge over a railroad line.

The road divides before approaching Main Street and City Hall, where SR 21 Business turns south on South Main Street, while SR 73 turns north on North Main Street. Main Street itself is divided by a town green from Telephone Avenue to halfway between Ogeechee Street and W.T. Sharpe Drive, while East Ogeechee Street becomes an unmarked city street. After the intersection with W.T. Sharpe Drive, SR 73 branches off to the northeast, while Singleton Avenue branches off to the northwest. North Main Street becomes much more rural north of here, and is sparsely lined with large suburban houses, although one local lawn mower dealership can be found on the southwest corner of SR 73 and Habersham Road across from Torrington Road. Two more local intersections are passed before the route encounters the frontage the Sylvania Bypass once again, and SR 73 rejoins US 301 on its way to South Carolina, while SR 73 Loop ends.

Delaware truck route

U.S. Route 301 Truck was a truck bypass of a segment of U.S. Route 301 in New Castle County, Delaware. It was created in the 1980s to provide a truck bypass of the St. Georges Bridge for US 301 when structural issues with the bridge forced a weight restriction. U.S. Route 301 Truck followed Delaware Route 71 and Delaware Route 896 north from US 301 in Mount Pleasant. It then crossed over the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal on the Summit Bridge. The truck route continued north on DE 896 to Glasgow, where it turned east on U.S. Route 40 and followed it to State Road, where it ended at U.S. Route 13 and U.S. Route 301. In 1992, US 301 was realigned to head north over the Summit Bridge to end at US 40 in Glasgow. This rerouting made Truck US 301 obsolete, however signs remained until 2001 along US 40.
