The old alignment of MD 279, before construction of I-95 and a new MD 279 cut it into three segments. It once ran straight from MD 316 to the Delaware border where it became Chestnut Hill Rd. This one appears as 'Former MD 823' on an SHA plat. Thanks to Vince Nohe for catching this one.

MD 824 was part of old US 222 before a new, straighter alignment was constructed for 222's interchange with I-95 in 1963. Not much along it, just an old motel and the I-95 underpass. It allows you to bypass the traffic signals for the I-95 ramps, but not the one for the outlet center, which coincides with MD 824's southern end.

This small stub straddled Pilot Town Road, which used to be part of MD 273, and US 1 prior to 1929, when the old bridge at Bald Friar was demolished to make way for Conowingo Dam.

MD 832 is the original path of MD 32 between Westminster and Taneytown. However, it was never part of US 140, which ran north along current MD 97. MD 97 was used for the new, straighter alignment that would become MD 140.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun...MD 833 looking west in late afternoon. (photo 07/07/09)

With the construction of a circle at MD 88, MD 833 joins the ranks of the signed routes. It was there for quite some time before that, since MD 88 was diverted south a few blocks at its western end at Hanover Pike (MD 30). The other road at the circle, Lower Beckleyville Rd, was once MD 89 from the circle to the Carroll-Baltimore county line, and is not, as some Google Maps show, part of MD 137.

If I recall correctly, back around 1992, MD 833 (and thus MD 88 before that) went straight west along what was E Mott Ave (?-also listed as Magna Way on some maps today), connecting with (now Business) MD 30 there. I don't remember any running northwest along the back side of Main Street to hook up with Gill Ave as it is today, and I don't know when it changed over.

One thing I remember though for sure, 833 certainly wasn't signed, and that was my first exposure to the concept of the secret or unsigned route. This was the pre-internet era, and I was compiling my first route listing to maybe put online. Using a 286-12 Mhz homebrew PC, with monochrome CRT and 20MB hard drive. The word 'online' would have meant on a friend's BBS back then. How far we've all come.

MD 835 is used for the old alignments of MD 18. These appear alongside the suffixed routes of 18 and 759, in what is called the "land of the 10 mph exits" across Kent Island on US 50-301. The area of commercial development across the island from Stevensville to Grasonville is sometimes, derisively, called "Kent Burnie," referring to the development along MD 2 in Glen Burnie.
