Maryland Route 159

Maryland Route 159 (MD 159) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Perryman Road, the state highway runs 4.73 miles (7.61 km) from a dead end at the Bush River near Perryman north to U.S. Route 40 (US 40) and MD 7 in Aberdeen. The northernmost part of MD 159 was constructed in the early 1920s and became the original alignment of US 40. The Perryman Road portion of MD 159 was constructed in the late 1920s and early 1930s. MD 159 was extended west along what was MD 7 to US 40 in 1950.

Route description

MD 159 begins at a dead end at the Bush River. The state highway heads northeast as Perryman Road, a two-lane road that closely parallels the Amtrak Northeast Corridor, which also serves MARC's Penn Line. MD 159 serves the Perryman Peninsula, an area of land between the Bush River estuary and Aberdeen Proving Ground. A small portion of this area is on the south side of the railroad and is accessed via Chelsea Road, at which northbound MD 159 has a stop sign in the village of Perryman, where the highway veers away from the Amtrak line and passes St. George's Parish Vestry House. North of Perryman, the state highway passes several distribution centers before reaching Old Philadelphia Road, onto which MD 159 turns west. The state highway crosses over Cranberry Run and passes the Griffith House and a trailer park before reaching its northern terminus at an oblique intersection with US 40 (Philadelphia Boulevard) just south of the city limits of Aberdeen. Old Philadelphia Road continues west as MD 7 toward Riverside.
