Maryland Route 132 (MD 132) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These four highways are sections of old alignment of and connecting roads with MD 22 in Aberdeen, Harford County. MD 132 connects Aberdeen neighborhoods east and west of U.S. Route 40 (US 40) with MD 22 and Interstate 95 (I-95). MD 132B serves the area east of US 40 and north of MD 22 between Aberdeen and Havre de Grace. MD 132A and MD 132C are connectors between MD 132 and MD 22. The highways that are now part of MD 132 were originally built in the early 1910s and marked as part of MD 22 and US 40 in 1927. MD 22 was extended east and north along the US 40 portion when the U.S. highway was relocated in the 1930s. MD 132 was assigned to the highway when MD 22 was relocated in the late 1960s. MD 132 became a split route following the construction of a railroad grade separation in the 1980s.

Route description

MD 132 runs 2.15 miles (3.46 km) between the west and east sides of Aberdeen. MD 132B runs 1.43 miles (2.30 km) from MD 22 in Aberdeen east to US 40 near Havre de Grace. [1]

MD 132 westbound in downtown Aberdeen

MD 132 begins at a cul-de-sac adjacent to I-95's interchange with MD 22 just west of the city limits of Aberdeen. The highway immediately receives a ramp from northbound I-95. MD 132 heads east as two-lane undivided Bel Air Avenue through a commercial area and intersects Northeast Road; the north leg of the intersection is a one-lane ramp from eastbound MD 22 that is unsigned MD 132C. MD 132's next intersection is with Bush Chapel Road and Beards Hill Road. Beards Hill Road, which is unsigned MD 132A, provides access to MD 22 (Aberdeen Thruway) and that highway's interchange with I-95 a short distance to the west. MD 132 continues east through residential neighborhoods of Aberdeen, where the highway meets the southern end of MD 462 (Paradise Road) and passes the historic James B. Baker House. [1] [2]

MD 132 crosses CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision railroad line at-grade and enters downtown Aberdeen, where the highway intersects US 40 (Philadelphia Boulevard). Adjacent to the intersection is the Aberdeen station, which is a stop for Amtrak and MARC's Penn Line. Immediately east of US 40, MD 132 makes a right angle turn south and crosses over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad line on an S-curve. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus just south of the end of the bridge at its intersection with Norman Avenue and federal government-maintained APG Road in a residential neighborhood. Both streets connect with Post Road, which heads north as a municipal street toward MD 132B. [1] [2]

MD 132B begins at an intersection with MD 22 (Aberdeen Thruway) on the east side of Aberdeen. The state highway heads northeast as Post Road, a two-lane undivided highway that passes between residential subdivisions and distribution centers. MD 132 leaves the city of Aberdeen and crosses Swan Creek before curving northwest and meeting Oakington Road on a tangent. Oakington Road leads to the Oakington community, which contained the farm of former U.S. Senator Millard E. Tydings. MD 132B's name changes to Oakington Road for the highway's final stretch, a crossing of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor immediately to the south of the highway's terminus at US 40 (Pulaski Highway). [1] [3]

History

MD 132 and MD 132B are the old alignment of MD 22 in the Aberdeen area. MD 132 west of Paradise Road and MD 132B north of its southern terminus were constructed as macadam roads around 1911. [4] Bel Air Avenue east of Paradise Road and Post Road south to Bel Air Avenue east of downtown Aberdeen were constructed as a concrete road in 1917. [5] When the Maryland State Roads Commission first assigned route numbers in 1927, Bel Air Avenue was designated MD 22 and Post Road became part of US 40. [6] US 40 was moved to its present alignment between Aberdeen and Havre de Grace between 1930 and 1933; Post Road was renumbered as an extension of MD 22 by 1939. [7] [8] [9]

In 1969, MD 22 was transferred to the newly completed Aberdeen Thruway. MD 132 was assigned to MD 22's old alignment east of the I-95 interchange at that time. [10] Beards Hill Road was reconstructed as a divided highway between MD 132 and MD 22 and the ramps from northbound I-95 to MD 132 and from eastbound MD 22 to MD 132 were constructed by 1972. [11] MD 132's S-curve bridge over the Amtrak Northeast Corridor was completed in 1983, replacing Bel Air Avenue's at-grade crossing of the railroad. [12] Bel Air Avenue east of the Amtrak line and Post Road south of MD 22 were removed from the state highway system around 1989. [13]

Maryland Route 7 (MD 7) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for much of their length as Philadelphia Road, there are five disjoint mainline sections of the highway totaling 40.23 miles (64.74 km) that parallel U.S. Route 40 (US 40) in Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil counties in northeastern Maryland. 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. The fifth segment of the highway begins at South Street and passes through the eastern part of Elkton before reconnecting with US 40 east of Elkton and west of the Delaware state line.

MD 147 is maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration in Baltimore and Harford counties and by the Baltimore City Department of Transportation within the city. Harford Road was a pair of turnpikes before the Baltimore–Carney portion of the highway was designated one of the original state roads. The Baltimore County section of MD 147 was constructed in the early 1910s and widened multiple times in the late 1920s and 1930s. The section of the state highway in Harford County was built in the late 1920s.

Maryland Route 150 (MD 150) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as either Eastern Avenue or Eastern Boulevard, the highway runs 13.01 miles (20.94 km) from U.S. Route 40 (US 40) in Baltimore east to Graces Quarters Road in Chase in eastern Baltimore County.
