Maryland Route 435 (MD 435) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The route runs 1.16 mi (1.87 km) between two different intersections with Maryland Route 450, one in western Annapolis and the other in northwestern Annapolis. As a result, MD 435 serves as a bypass of Downtown Annapolis. In addition, the route is the main access for Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Route description

Maryland Route 435 begins as municipally-maintained Taylor Avenue at Westgate Circle on the west side of Annapolis. MD 435 is the north leg of the roundabout, whose other legs are Maryland Route 450 (West Street) west toward Parole and east toward the Annapolis Historic District, and Maryland Route 387 (Spa Road) to the south. The route heads north as a two-lane road with a speed limit of 30 mph (48 km/h), passing Annapolis National Cemetery to the west. After passing the headquarters of the Annapolis Police Department, MD 435 crosses the former right of way of the South Shore Division of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway and a future rail trail. At this point, the road transfers from municipal maintenance to state maintenance.

Soon after crossing the old railroad right of way, MD 435 passes Cedar Park Road, which leads to auxiliary entrances to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, which is sited to the west of the road immediately afterwards. After passing some state offices on the east, the road intersects Maryland Route 70 (Roscoe Rowe Boulevard), which connects U.S. Route 50 and U.S. Route 301 to the Maryland State House and other state offices. East of MD 70, MD 435 passes Barracks J of the Maryland State Police and meets the southern terminus of Maryland Route 436 (Ridgely Avenue). The road then turns east onto Annapolis Street and soon after meets its northern terminus at MD 450 (King George Street) adjacent to the campus of the United States Naval Academy.

History

Maryland Route 435 was first paved in 1933 and was marked as MD 435 by 1939.^[2] However, while the route has always followed Taylor Avenue, its routing in West Annapolis has changed over the years.^[3] For more details on the routing in West Annapolis, see Maryland Route 436.
