Maryland Route 565 (MD 565) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These three highways are sections of old alignment of U.S. Route 213, the predecessor route to US 50, between Trappe and Easton. MD 565 runs from Trappe to US 50 south of Easton. MD 565A is a section of Washington Street in the southern part of Easton. MD 565B is an unsigned spur of old alignment near the northern end of MD 565. MD 565 was assigned in the early 1940s when US 213 was moved to a new alignment between Trappe and Peach Blossom Creek in southern Talbot County. MD 565A was designated in the late 1950s in the southern part of Easton and extended north of the downtown area in the mid 1960s. Portions of MD 565 were returned to municipal maintenance in Easton and Trappe in the mid 1980s and late 1990s.

Route description

MD 565

MD 565 is the designation for Main Street and Easton Trappe Road, a 5.77-mile (9.29 km) section of the old alignment of US 213 on the eastbound side of the federal highway between Trappe and Easton. The state highway begins at the intersection of Main Street and Maple Avenue in the town of Trappe.^[1] Main Street, which was once all MD 565, continues south 0.59 miles (0.95 km) as a municipal street to an intersection with US 50.^[2] The state highway heads north and its name changes to Easton Trappe Road on leaving the town after passing White Marsh Road.^[1] A short distance north of Llandaff Road near the hamlet of Llandaff a short distance south of Peach Blossom Creek, MD 565 turns sharply to the east and reaches its northern terminus at US 50 (Ocean Gateway).^[1][2] The old alignment of MD 565, an unnamed 0.14-mile (0.23 km) service road designated MD 565B, continues straight to serve as a driveway for a Honda auto dealership.^[1][3] Landing Neck Road continues east on the other side of the federal highway.^[2]

MD 565A

MD 565A is the designation for Washington Street, a 0.58-mile (0.93 km) section of the old alignment of US 213 on the eastbound side of the federal highway in Easton. The state highway begins at an intersection with MD 322 (Easton Parkway) a short distance north of MD 322's southern intersection with US 50. After crossing Paper Mill Pond, MD 565A reaches its northern terminus at Lee Terrace. Washington Street, which was once part of a longer MD 565A, continues north as a municipal street into downtown Easton.^[1][4]

History

MD 565 was assigned to the old alignment of US 213 between Trappe and Peach Blossom Creek south of Easton by 1946 after US 213 was moved to a new alignment, presently used by US 50, in 1941.^[5][6] MD 565A was assigned to Washington Street south of MD 33 in 1958.^[7] MD 565A was extended north to Easton Parkway in 1965 when MD 33 was assigned to the northern part of Easton Parkway.^[8] The MD 565A designation was removed from Washington Street north of downtown Easton in 1985.^[9] The remainder of MD 565A north of Lee Terrace was transferred to the town of Easton in 1999. The portion of Main Street south of MD 565's present southern terminus was transferred to the town of Trappe in 1999.^[10]
