[edit] History

Maryland Route 299 originally ran from Massey north to the Delaware border in Warwick, where it connected to Delaware Route 299. However, it was rerouted to follow U.S. Route 301 to the Delaware border, and now Delaware Route 299 connects to Maryland Route 282 at the border.

[edit] Route description

Starting at the Delaware border, Maryland 299 is also U.S. Route 301, the Blue Star Memorial Highway, heading southwest. At the intersection with Sassafras Road, Maryland 299 diverges from U.S. Route 301 and follows Sassafras Road in a more southerly direction. The road's name changes to Galena Sassafras Road, and then at an intersection with Maryland 290, Maryland 299 turns to follow Massey Road southward until ending at an intersection with Maryland 313 and Maryland 330 known as Massey.
