[edit] Route description

Maryland 267 starts and ends at Old Philadelphia Road (Maryland Route 7), which stays north of the Amtrak tracks and bypasses the Charlestown business district. As it works its way through town (including 3 right-angle turns), the highway is called Baltimore Street, Market Street, and Bladen Street west-to-east.

[edit] History

Judging by age and extent of bypass, Maryland 267 is the original road, with the Maryland 7 bypass coming into existence when the railroad was laid. That has since been supplanted by U.S. Route 40 (Pulaski Highway), and that in turn by Interstate 95, as the main route across Cecil County from the Susquehanna River to Delaware.
