Maryland Route 5 is a 74.34-mile (119.64 km) long state highway that runs north–south in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs from Point Lookout in St. Mary's County north to the Washington, D.C. border in Suitland, Prince George's County.

MD 5 begins as the two-lane undivided Point Lookout Road which runs from Point Lookout, St. Mary's County, to an intersection with Maryland Route 235 in the northern part of the county. Point Lookout Road passes through rural areas as well as the county seat of Leonardtown. After the MD 235 intersection, the route becomes the four-lane divided Three Notch Road and continues into Charles County, where it becomes Leonardtown Road. Here, the route bypasses Hughesville and continues north toward the Waldorf area, which it bypasses to the east on Mattawoman Beantown Road. The route merges onto U.S. Route 301 (Crain Highway) and enters Prince George's County, splitting from US 301 at an interchange in Brandywine. From here, MD 5 continues north on Branch Avenue, running through suburban areas, before becoming a freeway as it passes Andrews Air Force Base and interchanges with the Capital Beltway. Past the Capital Beltway, the route runs through suburban areas of Hillcrest Heights and Suitland before reaching the D.C. border, where Branch Avenue continues toward Pennsylvania Avenue.

MD 5 was designated by 1927 to run from Point Lookout to the Washington, D.C. border in Suitland. By 1940, the route was directed to run to the D.C. border along Naylor Road. The routing was moved to Branch Avenue by 1960, when the route was also widened into a divided highway between the proposed Capital Beltway and just south of the Suitland Parkway. By 1975, the route to a divided highway between the northern intersection with MD 235 and the Capital Beltway with the exception of the portion through Hughesville. The route bypassed the center of Leonardtown by 1996 and by 1999, MD 5 was moved to Mattawoman Beantown Road to the east of Waldorf, replacing Maryland Route 205. In both cases, the former routings of MD 5 became Maryland Route 5 Business. In Prince George's County, several interchanges were built along MD 5 between MD 223 and the Capital Beltway. In 2007, a four-lane, divided bypass of Hughesville was completed, alleviating the traffic bottleneck within that town at the intersection of Maryland Route 231. The portion of MD 5 between US 301 and the Capital Beltway is slated to be upgraded to a full freeway, with an interchange at Maryland Route 373 (Accokeek Road)/Brandywine Road planned to be completed in 2011 and the remainder still in the planning stages.

The Crain Highway crosses the Mattawoman Creek into Prince George's County, where it heads north as a 55 mph (89 km/h) road through wooded areas with some businesses along the road. US 301 splits from MD 5 at an interchange near Brandywine with MD 5 continuing to the north on four-lane divided Branch Avenue.[1][2] A short distance past US 301, the route intersects Maryland Route 373 (Accokeek Road).[1][2] It continues north through woodland with some businesses and adjacent residential areas before passing by the Southern Maryland Hospital Center at the Surratts Road intersection.[2] Past Surratts Road, the route heads through suburban residential areas of Clinton as a six-lane road before turning into a freeway that comes to a single-point urban interchange (SPUI) with Maryland Route 223 (Woodyard Road). The route heads northwest through commercial areas, with interchanges located at Malcolm Road (MD 5M)/Schultz Road and Coventry Way (MD 5L), the latter being a single-point urban interchange.[1][2] The route has a southbound exit to Old Branch Avenue and a northbound entrance from Old Alexandria Ferry Road before it turns north and heads through wooded surroundings, forming the western boundary of Andrews Air Force Base.[2] MD 5 comes to another SPUI with Maryland Route 337 (Allentown Road) in Camp Springs. A short distance later, the road interchanges with Manchester Drive (MD 5R)/Linda Lane (MD 5Q) before heading north as a 50 mph (80 km/h) freeway to an interchange with Interstate 95/Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway).[1][2]

Past the Capital Beltway, MD 5 becomes a surface road again, intersecting Maryland Route 535 (Auth Road), which provides access to northbound MD 5 from southbound I-95/I-495 as well as to the Branch Avenue station on Washington Metro’s Green Line. The route continues northwest into commercial areas, intersecting Maryland Route 967C (Simpson Road)/Auth Way and Maryland Route 967A (Old Branch Avenue).

North of Naylor Road, the route passes under the Green Line of the Washington Metro, interchanges with the Suitland Parkway, and narrows to a 2-lane undivided road in quick succession.[1][2] MD 5 passes through wooded areas before coming to an intersection with Southern Avenue at the Washington, D.C. border where the route ends and Branch Avenue continues into the District of Columbia toward Pennsylvania Avenue.[2]

History

Shields for MD 5 Business along westbound MD 231 in Hughesville. MD 5 Business (designated MD 625 in MDSHA internal documents) was created in 2006 when MD 5 was moved to the Hughesville Bypass.
MD 5 was designated by 1927 to run from north of Point Lookout State Park to the Washington, D.C. border in Suitland.[3] By 1940, the route was extended south into Point Lookout State Park and it was routed to the District of Columbia border on Naylor Road while MD 637 followed Branch Avenue to the D.C. border. District of Columbia Route 5 continued into Washington, D.C. on Naylor Road, Good Hope Road, and 11th Street to District of Columbia Route 4 (Pennsylvania Avenue).[4] MD 5 was directed to follow Branch Avenue to the D.C. border and DC 5 was modified to follow Branch Avenue from the Maryland border to DC 4 (Pennsylvania Avenue), which it followed west to the White House, by 1946.[5][6] By 1960, DC 5 no longer existed while MD 5 was widened into a divided highway from the proposed Capital Beltway to just south of the Suitland Parkway.[7] Further widening of the route to a divided highway occurred by 1975 between US 301 and the Capital Beltway, along the US 301 concurrency, and along Leonardtown Road between MD 235 and US 301 with the exception of the portion through Hughesville.[8] MD 5 was routed to bypass Leonardtown by 1996, with the former route becoming MD 5 Business.[9] Another rerouting of MD 5 in Waldorf by 1999 moved the route from Leonardtown Road and US 301 to Mattawoman Beantown Road, where it replaced Maryland Route 205.[9][10] With this modification, Leonardtown Road between Mattawoman Beantown Road and US 301 became MD 5 Business.[10] Also by 1999, three interchanges were constructed in Prince George's County at MD 223, Coventry Lane, and MD 337.[10] In 2001, an interchange was constructed with Manchester Drive and Linda Lane in Camp Springs.[11]

In February 2007, a $56 million limited-access bypass around Hughesville was completed, redirecting MD 5 to the east of the community. The bypass was built due to the heavy amount of congestion at the old intersection of MD 5 and MD 231 in Hughesville's central business district.[12] Groundbreaking for construction of the bypass took place on November 5, 2004, with $10 million in federal funds given to the project.[13] The old portion of MD 5 that went through Hughesville received the official MD 625 designation in 2006, even though it is signed as MD 5 Business.[14] The bypass was formally opened on August 8, 2007.[12]

Future

There are plans to improve MD 5 in Prince George's County due to traffic congestion along the route. An interchange is planned to be built with MD 373 and Brandywine Road in Brandywine that would widen the route to six lanes in the vicinity of the proposed interchange.[15] A notice to begin construction of Phase 1, which will widen MD 5 to 6 lanes in the vicinity of the future interchange was issued in November 2009 with completion in Spring 2011. Phase 2, which will build the interchange itself, is in design with a Preliminary Investigation Meeting planned for Summer 2010.[16] In addition, the route is planned to be upgraded to a full freeway between US 301 and the Capital Beltway, with new interchanges at Burch Hill Road/Earnshaw Drive and Surratts Road. This project is currently in the planning stages with many alternatives including upgrading only portions to freeway, adding reversible lanes or high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and various interchange designs.[17]
