[edit] Route Description
Maryland Route 936 begins in Midland, where it is connected to Maryland Route 36 by a short section of Church Street. The route provides access to rural areas of western Allegany County, including the towns of Klondike, Woodland, and Borden Shaft. North of Borden Shaft, the route passes under Interstate 68 without access to the freeway. Route 936 then passes through the Grahamtown section of Frostburg, where there are several sharp turns in the road. In Frostburg city limits, the road is known as Grant Street. Route 936 ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 40 Alternate/Maryland Route 36 (Main Street), in Frostburg. The entire route consists of two-lane rural road, with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph) in Frostburg, 35 mph south to Cabin Run Road, and 50 mph from Cabin Run Road to Midland.[1]
[edit] History
When Maryland Route 36 was realigned onto a former section of Maryland Route 55, the former alignment was redesignated as Route 936. Maryland Route 55, which previously ended in Midland was truncated at Vale Summit. The new alignment of Route 36 avoids several problems which exist with Maryland Route 936, particularly several sharp turns near Frostburg.
