Maryland Route 176 is an east-west route in Anne Arundel County. Formerly an arterial connector road linking Glen Burnie and BWI Airport to U.S. Route 1 in Elkridge, Route 176, also known as Dorsey Road, has been truncated by Maryland Route 100; Route 176's cloverleaf with Maryland Route 295 was reused by MD 100.
Dorsey Road itself has been cut into two segments. One segment from U.S. Route 1 to Coca Cola Drive was renumbered 103 in an extension of that route from Howard County, with the Route 103 section of Dorsey Road terminating just past Coca-Cola Drive on the south side of Route 100. The second segment starts at a cul-de-sac, intersects a local road, and continues as Route 176 on its original routing, intersecting Route 713 near Arundel Mills Mall and Interstate 97 near MD 100 before terminating at Route 648 in Glen Burnie.
Today, the route forms part of the Airport Loop, a series of designated state routes that encircle BWI Airport.
