[edit] Route description

Traveling south from Galena in Kent County, the road winds through four counties, ending in Wicomico County at Mardela Springs. It intersects U.S. Route 301 in Maryland in the north and U.S. Route 50 in Maryland in the south. MD 313 is perhaps most depended on by Caroline County - passing through the three most populated towns including the capital seat of Denton.

[edit] Notes

  • MD 313 is approximately 75 miles long, making it second in length in the state. Only Maryland Route 2 is longer.
  • The intersection between MD 313 and US 301 has been modified to prevent through traffic on the former from directly crossing the latter. Traffic must turn right onto US 301, use a reversing loop in the median and make a second right turn to continue on MD 313.
  • MD 313 multiplexes with MD 404 on the Denton Bypass, a four-lane divided expressway.
