MD 39 begins at the West Virginia state line in Hutton adjacent to CSX's Mountain Subdivision railroad line. WV 7 continues west from the state line toward Terra Alta. MD 39 heads southeast as two-lane undivided Hutton Road through the village of Hutton. The state highway skirts the hamlet of Crellin before crossing the Youghiogheny River and turning northeast. At Old Crellin Road, MD 39 veers north and enters the town limits of Oakland, where the highway becomes Oak Street. MD 39 curves to the east, then crosses the Little Youghiogheny River into downtown Oakland. After crossing over the Mountain Subdivision tracks, the state highway meets its eastern terminus at US 219. US 219 heads north from the intersection as Third Street and east as a continuation of Oak Street. [1] [2]

History

MD 39 was under construction by 1919 between Oakland and Crellin. [3] The highway was completed to just east of the Youghiogheny River in 1921. [4] [5] MD 39 was extended across the river through Hutton to the West Virginia state line in 1923. [6] [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Maryland Route 12</span> State highway in Worcester and Wicomico Counties, Maryland, US

Maryland Route 12 is a state highway on the Eastern Shore in the U.S. state of Maryland. The route runs 30.57 mi (49.20 km) from the Virginia border south of Stockton, Worcester County, where it continues into Virginia as State Route 679, north to Main Street in the city of Salisbury in Wicomico County.

By 1940, the route was extended south to the Virginia border and a small incomplete portion between Snow Hill and Salisbury was finished. A dumbbell interchange is planned at the US 113 intersection; however, this project is currently on hold.
