Maryland Route 446 (MD 446) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Broad Neck Road, the state highway runs 6.03 miles (9.70 km) from Broad Neck in southwestern Kent County north to MD 20 near Chestertown. The northern half of MD 446 was constructed around 1930. MD 446 was extended to its present southern terminus in the late 1980s.
Route description
MD 446 begins at an intersection with Langford Bay Road. Broad Neck Road continues south as a county highway to the southern end of Broad Neck. MD 446 passes through a mix of farmland and forests on the Broad Neck peninsula between the East and West Forks of Langford Creek. The state highway crosses Mill Pond Creek shortly before reaching its northern terminus at MD 20 (Chestertown Road) a short distance west of Chestertown.[1][2]
History
MD 446 was constructed as a state highway from MD 20 south about 3 miles (4.8 km) in 1929 and 1930.[3][4] The portion of Broad Neck Road south to Langford Bay Road remained a county highway until MD 446 was extended south to its present terminus in 1989.[5]
