Maryland Route 460
Maryland Route 460 (MD 460) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Hall Highway, the state highway runs 0.78 miles (1.26 km) from McCready Memorial Hospital east to MD 413 within Crisfield in southwestern Somerset County. MD 460 was constructed in the early 1930s to provide a modern connection between Crisfield and the hospital, which was originally constructed in the early 1920s.
Route description
MD 460 begins just north of the McCready Memorial Hospital property on a peninsula between Daugherty Creek and the Little Annemessex River. Byrd Road heads north as a county highway. MD 460 heads south, entering the city limits of Crisfield and passing through the hospital grounds, where the highway is flanked by perpendicular parking spaces. The state highway turns east and crosses the Little Annemessex River, then passes through a residential neighborhood where the highway intersects Wynfall Avenue, which provides full access to MD 413. MD 460 reaches its eastern terminus at southbound MD 413 (Maryland Avenue). There is no direct access to northbound MD 413 (Richardson Avenue).[1][2]
History
McCready Memorial Hospital was founded in 1923 as a memorial to Edward W. McCready, a cork industry scion and Crisfield native who was killed in a train-automobile collision on the Crisfield–Westover road in 1919.[3] MD 460 was constructed around 1933 to provide a more direct connection between the hospital and the populated areas of Crisfield.[4]
