Route description
View south along MD 552 at US 50/301 in Chester

MD 552 begins at a point between First Street and Church Street in the unincorporated village of Dominion. The highway continues south as county-maintained Little Creek Road. MD 552 heads east as a two-lane undivided road to an intersection with Parson Island Road, where the state highway turns north. The state highway passes through farmland and becomes lined with residences as it approaches an intersection with MD 18 (Main Street) in Chester. MD 552 continues a short distance between shopping centers to its northern terminus at a right-in/right-out interchange with US 50 / US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) at Exit 39B.[1][2]

History

MD 552 was paved starting from MD 18 toward Dominion in two sections that opened in 1933 and 1935, respectively.[3][4][5] MD 552 was extended north to connect with the ramps for Exit 39B of US 50 and US 301 when that highway was upgraded to a freeway around 1991.[6][7]

Auxiliary route

MD 552A is the designation for Chester Station Road, an unsigned 0.08-mile (0.13 km) highway along the same line as MD 552 on the north side of US 50 and US 301. The state highway runs from a right-in/right-out interchange with westbound US 50 / US 301 at Exit 39B north to Piney Creek Road, which is unsigned MD 18T west of the intersection to the signed mainline of MD 18.[1][8]

gollark: Krist as it stands does have some problems though, and in this I agree with Terra - there are a few people who had good GPUs and went in early when the block value was *fifty times* what it is now who own most of the economy.
gollark: I mean, I find that lots of people are willing to sell to me directly at really low prices if I actually ask directly.
gollark: There's only, what, one sell shop around, and there are large differences between buy/sell prices.
gollark: This also has the problem that you need the same production on each end anyway.
gollark: Also, with actual mod support it might be somewhat more immersive and might be more automatable.
