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. Sometime 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 400 and 499 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.

The longest section of MD 7 begins at US 40 just east of the city of Baltimore in Rosedale and extends through eastern Baltimore County and southern Harford County to US 40 in Aberdeen. The next segment of the state highway is a C-shaped route through Havre de Grace on the west bank of the Susquehanna River. The third mainline section of MD 7 begins in Perryville on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and ends at US 40 a short distance west of the start of the fourth section, which passes through Charlestown and North East before ending at US 40, just west of Elkton.

Maryland Route 290 Highway in Maryland

Maryland Route 290 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 17.20 miles (27.68 km) from MD 300 at Dudley Corners north to MD 299 near Sassafras. MD 290 roughly parallels U.S. Route 301, which it intersects twice, as it connects the communities of Crumpton in northern Queen Anne's County and Chesterville and Galena in eastern Kent County. The portion of the route in Queen Anne's County was constructed as MD 301 in the early to mid-1920s. In Kent County, a portion south of Galena was built in the late 1910s and extended south to the Chester River in the late 1920s. MD 290 assumed the course of MD 301 in 1940 to avoid a number conflict with US 301. The Galena–Sassafras section of the highway was built in the late 1940s. MD 290 was reconstructed in Queen Anne's County and from south of Galena to Sassafras in the mid- to late 1950s. The highway's interchanges with US 301 were built when the U.S. Highway's course was constructed in the mid-1950s.

Maryland Route 291 Highway in Maryland

Maryland Route 291 (MD 291) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 18.34 miles (29.52 km) from MD 20 in Chestertown east to the Delaware state line east of Millington, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 6 (DE 6). MD 291 parallels the Chester River along the southern edge of Kent County and connects Chestertown with U.S. Route 301 (US 301). The highway follows much of what was originally MD 447, which was constructed between US 213 in Chestertown and MD 290 at Chesterville around 1930. MD 291 itself was built east of Millington around 1930. The highway was extended west toward Chesterville in the early 1930s, but it was not complete to MD 290 until the late 1940s. MD 291 was extended west to US 213 along a partially new alignment in the early 1960s, superseding MD 447. MD 291 was reconstructed along its entire length between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, and it reached its present western terminus at MD 20 in 1969.

Maryland Route 444

Maryland Route 444 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 7.29 miles (11.73 km) from MD 290 in Chesterville north to Belchester Road in Kentmore Park. MD 444 connects Chesterville and Kentmore Park with MD 213 at Locust Grove in northern Kent County. The highway was constructed south from Locust Grove in the early 1930s and extended north to Kentmore Park in the early 1940s. MD 444 bypassed Locust Grove in the late 1960s. The portion of the highway south of Locust Grove was removed from state control in the late 1980s but returned with an extension to Chesterville in the early 1990s.

Maryland Route 298 Highway in Maryland

Maryland Route 298 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 20.14 miles (32.41 km) from MD 20 near Fairlee east to MD 291 near Chesterville. MD 298 is a C-shaped highway that connects Fairlee, MD 213, and Millington with several villages in northern Kent County, including Butlertown, Lynch, and Still Pond. The highway also provides a bypass of Chestertown between the western and eastern parts of the county. MD 298 was built from Fairlee to MD 292 near Still Pond around 1930 and reconstructed in the early 1950s. The highway was extended eastward to MD 566 east of Still Pond in the mid-1950s, to MD 213 in the early 1960s, and to MD 291 in the late 1980s.

[MD 447 L 1] The roads on which MD 447 ran were built in two sections. The portion from US 213 to Shallcross Wharf Road and Shallcross Wharf Road west from Locust Grove were part of the original Chestertown Galena highway proposed for improvement as a state road in 1909. [MD 447 L 2] This stretch was constructed as a 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) macadam road in 1913. [MD 447 L 3] The section from Shallcross Wharf Road to MD 444 is the original alignment of the Kentmore Park Road portion of MD 444.

[MD 447 L 6] [MD 447 L 7] After MD 444's present course west of Locust Grove was constructed in 1968, Old Locust Grove Road became MD 447 and Shallcross Wharf Road between US 213 and the new MD 447 became MD 449. [MD 447 L 6] [MD 447 L 8] MD 447 was resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1984.
