Catonsville

MD 166 · S. Rolling Rd.

2.71 mi.; from MD 144 south to I-195.

Marked north-south.

So named because this road was used in colonial times to roll casks of tobacco downhill from Catonsville to waiting ships on the Patapsco River near Elkridge. This route doesn't technically fit into a numbering cluster, being in southwestern Baltimore County, but close to the part of Anne Arundel County where the next cluster begins.

Linthicum

MD 167 · was Hammonds Ferry Rd.

from Anne Arundel-Baltimore County line south to MD 176.

No longer assigned (decommissioned), part of route now MD 162, MD 762.

Only reminder of this route is the fact that both 168 and 169 end here. The group of routes 167-179 puts us in northern and central Anne Arundel County. The southern half of this route between MD 170 and MD 176, is now signed as MD 162 and named Aviation Blvd; it forms the eastern perimeter of BWI Airport. The entire route was dropped in 1960; the part of 167 along the airport perimeter was revived in the early 70s, and later changed to 162.

MD 174 · Reece Rd., Donaldson Ave., Quarterfield Rd.

5.94 mi.; from end of state maintenance at Jacobs Road northeast to Business MD 3.

Marked east-west.

Began as a mere sliver west of Business 3. Donaldson Avenue was realigned at MD 170 in 1983, taking over old MD 554 (Reece Rd.) west of MD 170 all the way to the end of state maintenance at the property line of Fort Meade near Jacobs Road.

MD 174 does not extend all the way down Reece Road to MD 175 and Fort Meade. There is a "Begin State Maintenance" sign at Jacobs Road, and the turnoff for Reece Road off of 175 says "TO MD 174."

A tip of the MDRoads cap to Gary Metzler for this 174 info:
MD 174 took in Quarterfield Rd from Bus 3 in Glen Burnie west to Donaldson Avenue (not road), then ran pretty much along the roadbed of Donaldson Avenue. Donaldson Avenue ended at MD 170 just south of MD 554 (Reece Road) so a new segment was constructed to intersect at the existing MD 554 / MD 170 junction, and MD 554 from MD 170 to MD 175 was incorporated into MD 174.

MD 175 · Rouse Parkway, Waterloo Rd, Jessup Rd, Annapolis Rd

17.01 mi.; from US 29 in Columbia southeast to MD 3 in Millersville.

Marked east-west.

Now an 4-6 lane main drag in Howard County, MD 175 once began at MD 103, running along the current 104 and 108. North of 104 to US 29, it now takes the route of old MD 539. On its southern end, it once ran past 3 to 178 near I-97 Exit 5. In the years around World War II, 175 ran northeast from Fort Meade along what is now MD 713; current 175 south of Ft. Meade was MD 180.

Though MD 175 runs diagonally NW-SE, signage is east-west, to be perpendicular to the NE-SW diagonal corridors it intersects (US 29, I-95, US 1, MD 295, MD 3) that are all signed north-south.

MD 176 · Dorsey Rd.

5.68 mi.; from cul-de-sac near MD 100 southeast to MD 648.

Marked east-west.

MD 176 be truncated at the west end due to construction of new MD 100 in the late 1990s. It used to extend west into Howard County to US 1. During construction of MD 100, 176 was realigned to line up with MD 103 on the other side. After the opening of MD 100, MD 176 was rolled back to near Ridge Rd/Arundel Mills Blvd (MD 713) and MD 100 took over 176's interchange with the B/W Parkway (MD 295). MD 103 took over the old alignment of MD 176 (Dorsey Road) west of the B/W Parkway in October 1996.

MD 177 · Mountain Rd.

10.92 mi.; from MD 2 east to gated entrance to Gibson Island.

Marked east-west.

Begins at MD 2 near Marley Station mall and MD 100, ending at the private gated community of Gibson Island on the Magothy River. Unusually for a surface route, MD 177 has a third, signalized reversible center lane from MD 100 east to South Carolina Ave. Normally this is a center turn lane, but can be made one way to accomodate peak traffic. The eastern end at the Gibson Island gate is marked with "END 177" signage.
