US15

US Route 15 is a United States Numbered Highway that runs north-south across the eastern United States. It begins at US Route 17 in Walterboro, South Carolina, and ends at US Route 209 in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. The total length of the route is approximately 955 miles.

Throughout its course, US 15 traverses diverse landscapes and passes through numerous towns and cities. In South Carolina, it heads northeast, passing through Columbia before entering North Carolina. In North Carolina, the route continues its northerly journey, serving cities like Durham and Oxford.

Entering Virginia, US 15 continues its northward trend, passing through the Piedmont region and crossing the Rappahannock River. It then enters Maryland, where it briefly overlaps with other major routes. Finally, US 15 enters Pennsylvania, where it continues north through the central part of the state until its termination in Lawrenceville.

US 15 serves as a significant transportation corridor, connecting various communities and providing access to regional attractions. Its path reflects the historical development of the eastern United States, following early settlement patterns and later evolving with the interstate highway system. While parts of the route are now paralleled by interstates, US 15 remains an important non-interstate highway for local and regional travel.
