List of former Maryland state highways
System links

The Maryland highway system has several hundred former state highways. These highways were constructed, maintained, or funded by the Maryland State Roads Commission or Maryland State Highway Administration and assigned a unique or temporally unique number. Some time after the highway was assigned, the highway was transferred to county or municipal maintenance and the number designation was removed from the particular stretch of road. In some cases, a highway was renumbered in whole or in part. This list contains all or most of the state-numbered highways between 200 and 399 that have existed since highways were first numbered in 1927 but are no longer part of the state highway system or are state highways of a different number. Most former state highways have not had their numbers reused. However, many state highway numbers were used for a former highway and are currently in use. Some numbers have been used three times. The former highways below whose numbers are used presently, those that were taken over in whole or in part by another highway, or have enough information to warrant a separate article contain links to those separate highway articles. Highway numbers that have two or more former uses are differentiated below by year ranges. This list does not include former Interstate or U.S. Highways, which are linked from their respective lists.

In that same agreement, MD 276 was moved from Hopewell Road to Harrisville Road, which was then known as Kelly Road, so MD 269's eastern terminus remained at MD 276.[MD 269 10] Harrisville Road later became MD 813A after MD 276's present course was completed north of Liberty Grove Road in 1964.[MD 269 11][MD 269 12] MD 813A was transferred from state to county control in a December 27, 1979, road transfer agreement.[MD 269 12] Thus, MD 269's eastern terminus was at a county highway until the highway from Port Deposit to Harrisville Road was transferred from state to county maintenance when the road transfer agreement of May 16, 1984, was executed the following month.[MD 269 1]

Maryland Route 280 was the 9.40-mile-long (15.13 km) designation for Bridge Street, Singerly Road, and Lewisville Road from US 40 and US 213 in Elkton north to the Pennsylvania state line near Fair Hill in eastern Cecil County.[MD 280 1][MD 280 2] In 1927, US 40 was assigned to Main Street, US 213 was assigned to Bridge Street south of US 40 in Elkton, and MD 280 was assigned to the highway north of US 40.[MD 280 3][MD 280 4] When US 40 was moved to the four-lane divided Pulaski Highway in 1941, US 213's northern terminus was retracted from Main Street to the new US 40 and MD 280 was extended south from Main Street to that same intersection.[MD 280 5][MD 280 6] When the American Association of State Highway Officials approved removing the US 213 designation from Wye Mills to Elkton at their December 1971 annual meeting, both the U.S. Highway and MD 280 were replaced by MD 213.[MD 280 7][MD 280 8][MD 280 9]

The highways from Elkton to Fair Hill and from Elkton toward Chesapeake City were included in the original state road system designed by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909.[MD 280 10] The portion of the highway from the north town limit of Elkton to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (now CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision) crossing at Singerly was constructed as a 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) macadam road in 1911. The highway from the south town limit of Elkton at Big Elk Creek toward Chesapeake City was started in 1911 and completed as a 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) macadam road in 1914.[MD 280 11][MD 280 12] Bridge Street in the town of Elkton was paved as a 17-foot-wide (5.2 m) concrete road in 1920 and 1921.[MD 280 13][MD 280 14] By 1923, 2 miles (3.2 km) of 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) concrete road was added north from Singerly.[MD 280 14][MD 280 15] The remainder of the highway to Fair Hill was completed as a concrete road in 1923 and 1924.[MD 280 14][MD 280 16] In 1924 and 1925, Bridge Street in Elkton was reconstructed.[MD 280 16] The highway from Fair Hill to the Pennsylvania state line was constructed as a concrete road between 1930 and 1933.[MD 280 17][MD 280 18] MD 280 received two railroad grade separations in the 1930s. The route's bridge across the Pennsylvania Railroad (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) in Elkton was constructed between 1930 and 1934.[MD 280 19][MD 280 20] The highway's bridge across the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Singerly was constructed between 1937 and 1939.[MD 280 21] MD 280 was reconstructed from Elkton to Fair Hill between 1956 and 1958.[MD 280 22] The highway was relocated north of Singerly; the bypassed section, Cherry Hill Road, became MD 812.[MD 280 22][MD 280 23]

Maryland Route 293 was the designation for Ericsson Avenue, which ran 0.63 miles (1.01 km) from Howell Point Road north to MD 292 (Main Street) within the town of Betterton in northern Kent County.[MD 293 1] The highway was built as a concrete road in 1930. MD 293 was one of several highways constructed by the Maryland State Roads Commission as 9-foot (2.7 m) or 16-foot-wide (4.9 m) concrete roads through a $900,000 Kent County bond issue in 1929 and 1930.[MD 293 2] MD 293 and its auxiliary routes were resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1976 and were transferred from state to county maintenance through a December 1, 1987, road transfer agreement.[MD 293 1][MD 293 3]

MD 293 had three auxiliary routes. All three of these highways were also constructed in 1930 and became county maintained in 1988.[MD 293 1][MD 293 2] They each started with different route numbers; however, all three highways became auxiliary routes of MD 293 between 1946 and 1952, likely in 1948.[MD 293 4][MD 293 5][MD 293 6][MD 293 7]

A sign for MD 351 remained along Ballenger Creek Pike between US 15/US 340 and I-70 in 2016

Maryland Route 351 was the designation for the 4.24-mile-long (6.82 km) portion of Ballenger Creek Pike from the beginning of state maintenance near Tuscarora Creek in Adamstown, which was 6.77 miles (10.90 km) north of the named road's southern terminus in Point of Rocks, north to MD 180 and I-70 in Frederick.[MD 351 F 1] The highway followed what was originally the Frederick and Ballinger Creek Turnpike from Ballenger Creek north to the Frederick and Jefferson Turnpike, which was succeeded by US 340 and later MD 180.[MD 351 F 2] A concrete road was built along the path of the turnpike from Ballenger Creek to south of Elmer Derr Road in 1926 and 1927.[MD 351 F 3][MD 351 F 4] The concrete road was extended south to Renn Road in 1928 and to MD 351's present southern terminus near Adamstown in 1929 and 1930.[MD 351 F 5][MD 351 F 6][MD 351 F 7] The paved section of what became MD 78 was connected to US 340 by a county highway until the county highway was brought into the state system in 1938.[MD 351 F 8][MD 351 F 9] MD 78's northern terminus was relocated when US 340 was reconstructed as a freeway in 1968. MD 78 and MD 180 then had concurrent termini at the two highways' interchange with US 340.[MD 351 F 10] In 1970, MD 180 was extended south along Ballenger Creek Pike to what had been MD 78's southern terminus near Adamstown, resulting in a cane-shaped route.[MD 351 F 11]

In 1987, to alleviate confusion in the rapidly growing Ballenger Creek area, the Maryland State Highway Administration decided to redesignate as MD 351 the portion of MD 180 from Adamstown to Solarex Court at the southern end of its interchange with US 340 and US 15.[MD 351 F 12] The ramp from MD 351 to eastbound I-70 was added around 1997.[MD 351 F 13] MD 351 was removed from the state highway system in 2002.[MD 351 F 14][MD 351 F 15] MD 180's eastern terminus was moved to its present location and the remainder of state-maintained Ballenger Creek Pike was transferred to Frederick County. The state highway was transferred to the county after the completion of a Maryland State Highway Administration contract to eliminate a sharp curve in the highway between Lambert Drive and Corporate Drive and construct a new bridge over Ballenger Creek.[MD 351 F 15][MD 351 F 16] Portions of the old road were reused on the campus of newly constructed Tuscarora High School.[MD 351 F 17] In 2003, much of MD 351 was brought back into the state highway system; however, the Lambert Drive–Corporate Drive section remained under Frederick County maintenance.[MD 351 F 18][MD 351 F 19] The remainder of MD 351 was transferred to Frederick County in 2014.[MD 351 F 20]
