MD 513 in Fruitland
U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Business) is a business route of U.S. Route 13 in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 8.14 miles (13.10 km) between US 13 south of Fruitland and US 13 and US 50 on the north side of Salisbury. US 13 Business is a four-lane highway with divided and undivided sections that provides access to Salisbury University, downtown Salisbury, where the highway intersects US 50 Business, and Fruitland, where the highway meets MD 513. US 13 Business was constructed as a new alignment of US 13 in several steps in the 1930s and early 1940s. The section of the highway through Salisbury was originally constructed with four lanes, while the portion of the highway through Fruitland and at the northern end was expanded to a divided highway in the first half of the 1950s. US 13 Business was designated when US 13 was moved to the Salisbury Bypass upon its completion in 1981.
US 13 Business begins at a partial interchange with US 13, which continues south as Ocean Highway and heads north as the Salisbury Bypass. There is no access from southbound US 13 Business to northbound US 13 or from southbound US 13 to northbound US 13 Business. US 13 Business heads north as Fruitland Boulevard, a four-lane divided highway that parallels the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Secondary track on the west past farms and scattered residences. Upon entering the city of Fruitland, the business route intersects Camden Avenue, which is an old alignment of US 13. After crossing Division Street, US 13 Business enters an industrial area and crosses Main Street. The highway continues north and intersects MD 513 (Cedar Lane) in a commercial area before leaving Fruitland by traversing Tonytank Pond.
