Maryland Route 162 forms the eastern part of the Airport Loop around Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport designated as Aviation Boulevard. It is 2.31 miles (3.72 km) long and Links Telegraph and Camp Meade Road (Maryland Route 170) with North Dorsey Road (Maryland Route 176). Maryland Route 162 also provides access to Interstate 97. It was once Maryland Route 167 (Hammonds Ferry Road).

Route description

Maryland Route 162's entire route follows the Airport Loop, starting at MD 176 (Dorsey Road). It travels north, carrying the name Aviation Boulevard on a four-lane boulevard, and running just to the east of Interstate 97. After intersecting Cromwell Park Drive, which turns into two right-in/right-out ramps to the Interstate, it turns to the northwest. The route provides access to several side streets leading to businesses and suburban residential areas, and passing close to a series of small-craft hangars off the edge of the main runways. Once it runs past MD 762 (Andover Road), it turns sharply to the west, providing access to the very large northeast parking lot for BWI. The route ends shortly after when it encounters MD 170 (Camp Meade Road); however, the Airport Loop and Aviation Boulevard continue to the west from here, with MD 170 taking over these designations.

Junction list

The entire route is in Anne Arundel County.
