U.S. Route 40 Scenic is a former section of U.S. Route 40 in Allegany and Washington Counties in Maryland. Part of the route of the National Pike reduced in status after the construction of Interstate 68, it runs from Fifteen-Mile Creek Road (at exit 62 on Interstate 68) in eastern Allegany County to near Woodmont Road (at exit 77 on Interstate 68) in western Washington County. The route is 9.50 miles long.[1] At both ends, the route intersects with different sections of Maryland Route 144, which are also former sections of U.S. Route 40.
U.S. Route 40 Scenic is one of only two such routes in the United States, the other being U.S. Route 412 Scenic.
