Route description
View east along MD 330 at MD 299 and MD 313 in Massey

MD 330 begins at a four-way intersection with MD 299 and MD 313 at Massey. MD 299 heads north as Massey Road toward Sassafras, and MD 313 heads west (northbound) and south as Galena Road. MD 330 heads east as a two-lane undivided road that immediately has a grade crossing of the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad just south of the junction of the Centreville and Chestertown branches of the Northern Line. The highway passes by the Massey Aerodrome and through Millington Wildlife Management Area. MD 330 crosses Black Bottom Branch before it reaches its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line, where the road continues east as Clayton Delaney Road in the southwest corner of New Castle County.[1][2]

History

The Maryland State Roads Commission reconstructed Massey Delaware Line Road as a gravel road from the railroad crossing to the state line in 1954; however, they decided to leave the highway in the county highway system.[3][4] The whole length of the highway was brought into the state highway system through a December 1, 1987, road transfer agreement.[5] The highway was designated MD 330 in July 1988.[6][7]
