MD 284

Maryland Route 284
Location: Chesapeake City
Length: 0.25 mi[MD 284 1] (0.40 km)
Existed: 1927–

Maryland Route 284 is the designation for Hemphill Street, which runs 0.25 miles (0.40 km) between two intersections with MD 285 in Chesapeake City in southern Cecil County. MD 284 heads north from MD 285 (Biddle Street) one block north of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in the town of Chesapeake City. Immediately after leaving the town limits, the two-lane highway curves to the west and reaches its northern terminus at MD 285 (Lock Street). MD 285 heads north to a junction with MD 213 (Augustine Herman Highway).[MD 284 1][MD 284 2]

Hemphill Street was part of the original CeciltonElkton highway passing through Chesapeake City that was designated for improvement by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909.[MD 284 3] The highway through Chesapeake City was paved as a 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) concrete road in 1915.[MD 284 4] At that time, the main highway entered Chesapeake City from the north along Hemphill Street, crossed the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal on a one-lane bridge, turned west and crossed Back Creek on a wooden bridge, turned south onto Bohemia Street in South Chesapeake City, turned west onto Third Street, and turned south onto George Street to leave the town.[MD 284 5]

In the 1920s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers widened, straightened, and deepened the canal. As part of their work, the agency constructed a vertical lift bridge across the canal.[MD 284 6] Between 1924 and 1926, the Maryland State Roads Commission constructed approaches to the new bridge on both sides of the expanded canal, eliminating two narrow and dangerous bridges and four right-angle turns in Chesapeake City.[MD 284 7] The new route along George Street and Lock Street, which became part of US 213 in 1927 and is now MD 285 and MD 537, entirely bypassed what is now MD 284.[MD 284 8][MD 284 1][MD 284 9] MD 284 was resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1976, and its junction with MD 285 was changed from a tangent to the present orthogonal intersection in 1982.[MD 284 10]

Maryland Route 537
Location: Chesapeake City
Existed: 1949–

Maryland Route 537 is a collection of unsigned state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These two existing highways and two former sections of state highway are segments of old alignment of U.S. Route 213 (US 213), which is now MD 213, in Chesapeake City in southern Cecil County.[MD 537 1][MD 537 2] Some of the roads that became segments of MD 537 were constructed in the mid-1910s as part of the original state road between Elkton and Cecilton.[MD 537 3] Other portions of MD 537 were part of the approach roads to a bridge across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal that was built in the mid-1920s and destroyed in 1942.[MD 537 4][MD 537 5] After the modern Chesapeake City Bridge and its approach roads were completed in 1949, US 213 was moved to the new bridge and approach roads and MD 537 was assigned to the bypassed sections of US 213.[MD 537 2][MD 537 5] Much of MD 537 outside of Chesapeake City was transferred to county maintenance in the late 1950s.[MD 537 2] In 2015, the remaining section of MD 537 north of the canal was turned over to municipal maintenance.[MD 537 6]

The first bridge at Richardsmere was constructed to serve Richard Porter's mill on the northwest side of Octoraro Creek in the late 18th century.[MD 591 3] A wooden covered bridge was constructed at the site around 1858 and washed away in a flood in 1884.[MD 591 4] A metal Pratt through truss bridge was constructed to replace Porter's Bridge in 1885.[MD 591 3] This truss bridge served the original state road, later designated US 1 in 1927.[MD 591 5] The state road west toward Conowingo was paved in 1911, and the state road east toward Rising Sun was completed by 1919.[MD 591 6][MD 591 7] MD 591 was assigned to the route using Porters Bridge after US 1 was relocated and a new bridge upstream from Porters Bridge was completed in 1934.[MD 591 8] Porters Bridge was closed in January 1978 after a storm caused irreparable damage to the eastern approach to the bridge. The severely deteriorated bridge was scheduled to be dismantled in 2001.[MD 591 3]

Maryland Route 658 is an unsigned state highway that runs 0.84 miles (1.35 km) from MD 53 north to US 40 Alternate within La Vale. The highway west of I-68 is part of US 220 Truck, which provides access from eastbound I-68 to southbound US 220 in Cresaptown for trucks due to a truck prohibition on the eastbound exit ramp for I-68's interchange with US 220.[34] MD 658 begins at an intersection with MD 53 (Winchester Road) and heads northeast as Vocke Road, a four-lane divided highway. The state highway passes the Country Club Mall and the District 6 offices of the Maryland State Highway Administration before intersecting a segment of Braddock Road, which is unsigned MD 949. MD 658 intersects entrance and exit ramps from Exit 40 of eastbound I-68 and US 40 (National Freeway). The highway passes under the freeway and meets an exit ramp from westbound I-68 and the western terminus of MD 49 (Braddock Road) at the next intersection, where the highway's name changes to Campground Road. MD 658 turns north, crossing Braddock Run, and reduces to a four-lane undivided highway before reaching its northern terminus at US 40 Alternate (National Pike).[1][35] MD 658 was assigned to Campground Road as a connector between US 40 and MD 49 in 1939.[11] The state highway was extended south along Vocke Road to MD 53 around 1948.[36][37] MD 658 was expanded to a divided highway from MD 53 to MD 49 around 1972 in conjunction with the construction of I-68 through La Vale.[38]

MD 674 was extended east from MD 445 to its present eastern terminus at MD 20 after MD 20 was relocated onto Rock Hall Avenue east of MD 445 in 1959 and 1960.[MD 674 7] The portion of the highway west of MD 445 was reconstructed in a streetscape project in 1981 and 1982, and the current length of the highway outside the town was reconstructed similarly in 1989.[MD 674 8] The town of Rock Hall agreed to assume maintenance for MD 674 west of Grays Inn Creek through a June 14, 1995, road transfer agreement. The transfer was conditional on the state completing a streetscape project on the highway east of MD 445.[MD 674 9] MD 674 was reduced to its current length after the streetscape project was completed in 1996.[MD 674 8][MD 674 9][MD 674 10] MD 674 had an auxiliary route, MD 674A, that served as a 0.08-mile-long (0.13 km) one-way ramp from eastbound MD 674 to MD 20 at the former highway's eastern terminus.[MD 674 11] MD 674A was assigned to the ramp by 1975, and the route was removed and the roadway abandoned in 1996.[MD 674 10][MD 674 11]
