Maryland Route 175

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maryland Route 175 is a roughly 17-mile-long east-west road in central Maryland. It begins in Anne Arundel County at Maryland Route 3 (N Crain Highway) in Millersville and proceeds northwest through Gambrills, Odenton, Fort Meade, and Jessup. It then crosses into Howard County and continues through Waterloo and Columbia, terminating near U.S. Route 29. To the west of US 29, Route 175 becomes Little Patuxent Parkway, the main route through Columbia's Town Center (site of the Mall in Columbia).

There are plans to widen and improve the road between Maryland Route 170 in Odenton and the Baltimore Washington Parkway in Jessup due to the increasing development in and around Fort Meade.

In May 2006, the approximately four-mile stretch of Route 175 between I-95 and U.S. 29 in Columbia was renamed the Rouse Parkway in honor of Jim and Patty Rouse.
