'''U.S. Route 401''' ('''US 401''') is a north–south [[United States highway]], a spur of [[U.S. Route 1]], that travels along the [[Atlantic Seaboard fall line|Fall Line]] from [[Sumter, South Carolina]] to [[Interstate 85 in North Carolina|Interstate 85]] near [[Wise, North Carolina]].▼

==Route description==▼
Starting in [[Sumter, South Carolina]], US 401 goes northeast through mostly swamp and farmland, as it connect the cities of [[Darlington, South Carolina|Darlington]] and [[Bennettsville, South Carolina|Bennettsville]] before crossing the state line into [[North Carolina]]. Traversing the state for {{convert|77.2|mi|km}}, it is mostly a two-lane rural road, which is likely to only have local traffic along it thanks to nearby [[Interstate 95 in South Carolina|Interstate 95]].<ref name=google-sc/>▼

==History==
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
US 401 was established in 1957 as a renumbering of [[U.S. Route 15 Alternate (Sumter-Society Hill, South Carolina)|US 15A]], from [[Sumter, South Carolina|Sumter]] to [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]], and [[North Carolina Highway 59|NC 59]], from Raleigh to [[Norlina, North Carolina|Norlina]]; it is the third and current route to bear the name.
In 1967, northbound US 401 was rerouted along South Street west onto McDowell Street, formally using Lenoir Street, in Raleigh.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/1967_03_09.pdf |title=Route Change (1967-03-09) |publisher=North Carolina Department of Transportation |date=March 9, 1967 |
The first US 401 existed between 1926
==Future==
Considered an important link between [[Fayetteville, North Carolina|Fayetteville]], [[Lillington, North Carolina|Lillington]] and [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]], [[North Carolina Department of Transportation|NCDOT]] has set up the US 401 Corridor Study. The purpose of the study is to identify deficiencies in the existing corridor and develop alternatives for accommodating future growth in traffic volumes (i.e. widen to multi-lanes). The corridor study also includes [[North Carolina Highway 55|NC 55]] and [[North Carolina Highway 210|NC 210]]. Estimated costs for all road improvements along the corridor is around $193–222.6 million. Property acquisition and construction is unfunded at this time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/401CorridorStudy/|title=NCDOT: US 401 Corridor Study|
