U.S. Route 1 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 1 in south eastern Pennsylvania, USA. The southern terminus of the route is at US 1 in the Bensalem Township community of Oakford, west of Penndel. The northern terminus is at US 1 north of the Falls Township community of Fallsington. US 1 Business runs along the Lincoln Highway for its entire length.
Although US 1 Business is the third auxiliary route of US 1 to exist in Pennsylvania, it is the only route that is still active.
[edit] History
When a bypass of Penndel was completed to the north of the borough in 1989, US 1 was moved from the Lincoln Highway to the expressway, allowing US 1 Business to occupy the Lincoln Highway in its place.
