context_page_description: U.S. Route 13 is a U.S. Highway running from Fayetteville, North Carolina north to Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In the U.S. state of Maryland, the route runs 42.48 mi from the Virginia border south of Pocomoke City in Worcester County north to the Delaware border in Delmar, Wicomico County, where the route intersects Delaware/Maryland Route 54, which runs along the state line. The majority of the route within Maryland is a four-lane divided highway that passes through rural areas of woodland and farmland. The route also runs through a few municipalities including Pocomoke City and Princess Anne and it bypasses Fruitland and Salisbury to the east on the Salisbury Bypass, which is a freeway. US 13 intersects many major roads including the southern terminus of US 113 in Pocomoke City, Maryland Route 413 in Westover, and MD 12 and US 50 where the route is on the Salisbury Bypass. The route shares a concurrency with US 50 along a portion of the Salisbury Bypass.
  US 13 was designated through Maryland when the U.S. Highway System was established in 1926, running along existing roads.
context_section_description: US 13 crosses the Passerdyke Creek into Wicomico County, where it continues northeast as South Fruitland Boulevard through a mix of woods and farms. Shortly after entering Wicomico County, the route diverges from US 13 Bus. at a semi-directional wye junction. US 13 Bus. continues towards Fruitland and downtown Salisbury on South Fruitland Boulevard while US 13 turns northeast and upgrades into the Salisbury Bypass, a four-lane freeway that soon passes over the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Subdivision line.
  Bypassing the Salisbury area to the east, the route heads through farmland and meets MD 513 (St. Lukes Road) at a diamond interchange. MD 513 provides access from the US 13 bypass into Fruitland. Continuing northeast through a mix of farmland and woodland, with some housing developments nearby, US 13 meets MD 12 (Snow Hill Road) at a partial cloverleaf interchange.   MD 12 serves as a direct link between Salisbury and Snow Hill, connecting with US 113 in Snow Hill. Turning north upon crossing Beaverdam Creek near Parker Pond, the highway crosses over MD 350 (Mt. Hermon Road) with no interchange between the routes, and continues north to another partial interchange with US 50 and US 50 Bus. to the east of Salisbury.
  The interchange between US 13, US 50, and US 50 Bus., modified from a full cloverleaf with the completion of the Salisbury Bypass west of US 13 to US 50, is the site of the eastern terminus of US 50 Bus., US 50's original route through Salisbury.  US 50 joins US 13 at this interchange, and the two routes run concurrent along 3 miles (5 km) of the Salisbury Bypass. Just beyond the interchange, the road passes over MD 346 (Old Ocean City Road) with no interchange and the Delmarva Central Railroad's Willards Industrial Track line. The Salisbury Bypass turns to the west and meets the northern terminus of US 13 Bus. (North Salisbury Boulevard) at the original northern terminus of the bypass. US 13 separates from US 50 at this interchange and rejoins its original northward route, while US 50 continues west on the Salisbury Bypass to rejoin its original route northwest of Salisbury.
  US 13, now known as North Salisbury Boulevard, continues north into a commercial area on a six-lane divided highway, immediately passing by The Centre at Salisbury shopping mall. The road runs past numerous businesses before crossing Leonard Pond, as the road narrows to five lanes (with two lanes southbound and three lanes northbound), and becomes Ocean Highway again. It heads to east of the Wicomico County Tourist Information Center and passes by a set of weigh stations located on both sides of the road before it intersects the southern terminus of a separate MD 675, which follows US 13's original route through Delmar on Bi State Boulevard. US 13 continues north as a four-lane highway (with two lanes in each direction), through a mix of farms and woods with some businesses, skirting Delmar to the east.  The route intersects DE/MD 54 (Maryland Delaware Line Road), which runs along the Delaware-Maryland border, and US 13 continues north into Delaware.
