Interstate 101 (I-101) is a main Interstate Highway running parallel along very closely to the Atlantic Coast of the United States from Savannah, Georgia to Edison. New Jersey near New York City. It is one of the two coastal Interstate Highways in the United States, the other one being Interstate 1 (I-1), which runs parallel closely to the Pacific Ocean. The southern terminus is at Interstate 95 (I-95) near Savannah, Georgia. The northern terminus is at Interstate 95 (I-95) near Edison, New Jersey, about 18 miles (28 km) of Staten Island, New York. The interstate travels in the states of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. In the Carolinas and Virginia, the entire highway is known as the Atlantic Coast Expressway. From Charleston, South Carolina to Wilmington, North Carolina, it is known as the Carolina Expressway. It is the Carolinas' famous highway. The entire interstate is parallel to Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 1 (US 1), whereas parts of the interstate is parallel to U.S. Route 17 (US 17) from Savannah, Georgia to Virginia Beach, Virginia; North Carolina Highway 12 (NC 12) from Sea Level to Barco, North Carolina; U.S. Route 13 (US 13) from Virginia Beach, Virginia to Pocomoke City, Maryland; U.S. Route 113 (US 113) from Pocomoke City, Maryland to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; Delaware State Route 1 (DE 1) from Fenwick Island to Dewey Beach, Delaware; and U.S. Route 9 (US 9) from Lewes, Delaware to Middletown, New Jersey. The interstate provides great scenic view of the Atlantic Ocean and the estuaries, bays and deltas. Because of the extreme closer distance to the Atlantic Coast, the interstate has three bridges, and possibly many more. The three main ones are the Pamlico Bridge in North Carolina from Ceder Island to Poplar Branch; the Delmarva Bridge in Virginia, north to the Delmarva Peninsula; and the Delaware Bay Bridge from Delaware to New Jersey (with US 9).
