U.S. Route 301 Bypass (US 301 Byp.), which is entirely
The bypass begins in the southwestern part of the city at the intersection with US 25/US 301/SR 73, as well as US 25 Byp./SR 67 Byp. US 301 Byp., SR 67 Byp., and SR 73 Byp. travel southeast and east along the perimeter of Georgia Southern University. They follow the perimeter of the university, turning northeast towards Fair Road (SR 67), where it breaks off from the university perimeter and turns northward. Here, SR 67 Byp. ends, while US 301 Byp. and SR 73 Byp. continue. After turning north, the bypass intersects Northside Drive (US 80/SR 26), East Main Street (SR 24), and finally East Parrish Street (US 301/SR 73).
The entire length of US 301 Byp. and SR 73 Byp. is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.[6]
The Veterans Memorial Parkway was commissioned in 1993.[3][4] Both US 25 Byp. and US 301 Byp. were completed at the same time as two-lane highways.[citation needed] Several years later, US 25 Byp. was widened to become a four-lane divided highway.[citation needed] In March 2007, work began on the widening of US 301 Byp.[citation needed] The bypass was completed in October 2008.[citation needed]
US 301 Byp., commonly referred to simply as "the bypass",[citation needed] has become one of the most congested roads in Statesboro.[citation needed] The widening of the road, which was supposed to be completed by 2006, was not completed due to a faulty contractor.[citation needed] A new contractor was hired by the Georgia Department of Transportation, and work began in March 2007.[citation needed] The bypass has become an attractive place for new businesses, and has been crucial in the growth and expansion of the greater Statesboro area.[citation needed]
The entire route is in Statesboro, Bulloch County.

U.S. Route 301 Business was established in 1970, it replaced the old mainline US 301 through downtown Bowling Green, via Richmond Turnpike, Main Street, and Broaddus Avenue.[citation needed] The route begins at an interchange with the Bowling Green Bypass (US 301) at a single connecting road, where Richmond Turnpike becomes South Main Street. VA 2 continues from the overlap with mainline US 301 to an overlap with the business loop. At the intersection of Milford and Chase Streets (VSR 619), South Main Street becomes North Main Street, which runs through the Bowling Green Historic District. North Main Street makes a slight northwest curve at the intersection with Sunset Drive. The intersection of West and East Broaddus Avenues is where US BUS 301 makes a right turn while VA 2 continues north towards Fredericksburg, and VA BUS 207 heads west to VA 207. US BUS 301 heads east along East Broaddus as it runs from a residential to a sparsely commercial developed area until it curves to the southeast and finally terminates at US 301, the northern terminus of the Bowling Green Bypass at A.P. Hill Boulevard.

The road divided before approaching Main Street and City Hall, where SR 21 Bus. 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.
When SR 73 Loop was established in 1970, US 301 was routed onto it. US 301's former path through the city (on SR 73) was redesignated as US 301 Bus.[16][17] In 2017, it was decommissioned.[18]
