Highway system

Maryland Route 353 (MD 353) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Gumboro Road, the state highway runs 5.08 miles (8.18 km) from U.S. Route 50 (US 50) just south of Pittsville north to the Delaware state line, where the highway intersects Delaware Route 26 (DE 26) and DE-MD 54. MD 353 was constructed in the mid- to late 1920s. The route was extended south from MD 346 to US 50 in Pittsville in 2016.

Route description

View north along MD 353 at MD 346 in Pittsville

MD 353 begins at an intersection with US 50 (Ocean Gateway) just south of Pittsville, heading northeast on two-lane undivided Sixty Foot Road, which continues south as a county highway past US 50. Upon crossing MD 346 (Old Ocean City Road), the road name changes to Gumboro Road and MD 353 heads through the town of Pittsville. After intersecting Main Street, the highway turns north past scattered residences. After crossing Aydelotte Branch, MD 353 leaves Pittsville, crossing Burnt Mill Branch and passing through farmland all the way to the highway's northern terminus at the Delaware state line. The roadway continues into Delaware as DE 26 and DE 54 (Millsboro Highway). Bethel Road heads east from the intersection at the state line, while DE-MD 54 (Line Road) follows the state line west to the towns of Delmar, Maryland, and Delmar, Delaware.[1][2]

History

MD 353 was constructed as a modern highway beginning in 1925 from Pittsville.[3] By 1927, the highway extended north to Burnt Mill Branch.[4] MD 353 was completed to the Delaware state line in 1929.[5][6] On April 20, 2016, the portion of Sixty Foot Road between US 50 and MD 346 was transferred from county and town maintenance to state maintenance and became a southern extension of MD 353.[1]

gollark: JS and HTML5 are highly accursed and complex so you have no chance of implementing them.

gollark: > ok fine, a microwave from the 1800s to be specific.I don't think they had those then. Modern magnetrons are IIRC a 1900s invention.

gollark: The bruteforce tester I ran only got me speed and a bunch of particle effects. Also mining fatigue.

gollark: Also I heard that they could disintegrate you.

gollark: I had some on SC, but they seemed to unprogram themselves or randomly vanish temporarily sometimes.
