[1] [2] As Part of state highway project, a bike lane along route 50 and the Severn River Bridge, connected the trail to Annapolis.

The bridge serves as part of the John Hanson Highway, which is signed as U.S. Route 50 (US 50) and U.S. Route 301 (US 301). Maryland Route 2 (MD 2) also traverses the ...

When MDSRC first assigned state route numbers in 1927, MD 2 followed the present course of MD 450 from Solomons Island Road (now MD 393) to the north end of the Severn River Bridge, where the state highway continued along the Baltimore–Annapolis Boulevard. [11] [12] Improvements to the highways began immediately after they were numbered.
A short connector between the northern end of the bridge and MD 3 resulted in the majority of the latter route being taken over by US 301, with only a small portion remaining signed as MD 3 (this portion is now MD 257). Originally, the route went all the way along former MD 3 into Baltimore and ended near present-day MD 295 (Russell Street). As ...
