 MD 167 · was Hammonds Ferry Rd.
from Anne Arundel-Baltimore County line south to MD 176.

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.

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 west of the B/W Parkway.
