St. Charles Parkway

St. Charles Parkway is an unnumbered county road in Charles County. It begins at the intersection where MD 5 branches off northwards on Mattawoman Beantown Road and MD 5 BUS (Leonardtown Road) continues westward until its terminus at US Route 301. It primarily serves as the main road into the various villages and neighborhoods of St. Charles. In 2008, the parkway was being extended farther south to connect with the town of La Plata at the intersection of Rosewick Road and Radio Station Road. [cite web
