===New England=== {{main|U.S. Route 1 in Connecticut|U.S. Route 1 in Rhode Island|U.S. Route 1 in Massachusetts|U.S. Route 1 in New Hampshire|U.S. Route 1 in Maine}} In [[New England]], US 1 generally serves large cities in a side street capacity. In [[Connecticut]], US 1 serves the shore of [[Long Island Sound]] parallel to [[Interstate 95|I-95]]. Beyond [[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]], the highway travels east–west, and some signs in the state indicate this rather than the standard north–south. While I-95 in [[Rhode Island]] takes a diagonal path to [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], US 1 continues east along the coast through [[Westerly, Rhode Island|Westerly]] to [[Wakefield-Peacedale, Rhode Island|Wakefield-Peacedale]], where it turns north and follows [[Narragansett Bay]]. Most of this part is a four-lane [[limited-access highway]], providing access to [[Rhode Island Route 138|Route 138]] toward [[Newport, Rhode Island|Newport]]. After [[Rhode Island Route 4|Route 4]] splits as a mostly-[[freeway]] connection to I-95, US 1 becomes a lower-speed surface road, passing through [[Warwick, Rhode Island|Warwick]], Providence, and [[Pawtucket, Rhode Island|Pawtucket]]. The route parallels I-95 again through Providence and Pawtucket and into [[Massachusetts]], traveling toward [[Boston]] as a four-lane road. When it reaches [[Dedham, Massachusetts|Dedham]], US 1 turns east and becomes a freeway through metropolitan Boston, [[Concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with I-95 and [[Interstate 93|I-93]] east to [[Braintree, Massachusetts|Braintree]] and north through [[Downtown Boston]]. The [[Tobin Bridge]] and [[Northeast Expressway (Boston)|Northeast Expressway]] take US 1 out of Boston, after which it again parallels I-95 as a high-speed surface road through [[Newburyport, Massachusetts|Newburyport]] to the New Hampshire state line.<ref name=maps/> The short portion of US 1 in [[New Hampshire]] follows the historic Lafayette Road, staying close to I-95, passing through [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire|Portsmouth]] before crossing the [[Piscataqua River]] on [[Memorial Bridge (Portsmouth, New Hampshire)|Memorial Bridge]], which was demolished and replaced during 2012–2013, leaving a temporary gap in US 1. During construction, drivers had to detour to one of two other nearby bridges carrying [[U.S. Route 1 Bypass (Portsmouth, New Hampshire–Kittery, Maine)|US 1 Bypass]] or I-95. Within [[Maine]], US 1 begins as a parallel route to I-95 near the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. At [[Portland, Maine|Portland]], I-95 splits off to the north, and [[Interstate 295 (Maine)|I-295]] heads northeast paralleling US 1 to [[Brunswick, Maine|Brunswick]]. There US 1 turns east as a mostly two-lane road along the coast to [[Calais, Maine|Calais]]; much of this portion is advertised as the "Coastal Route" on signs. North from Calais, US 1 follows the [[Canada–United States border|Canadian border]], crossing I-95 in Houlton and eventually turning west and southwest to its "north" end at the [[Clair–Fort Kent Bridge]] in [[Fort Kent, Maine|Fort Kent]]. The short [[New Brunswick Route 161|Route 161]] extends north on the [[New Brunswick]] (Canada) side of the bridge to [[New Brunswick Route 120|Route 120]], a secondary east–west route from [[Edmundston]], [[New Brunswick]], west to [[Quebec Route 289]] toward [[Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska]], [[Quebec]].<ref name=maps/>
