Maryland Route 168, better known as Nursery Road, is a road in Anne Arundel County, Maryland in the area of BWI Airport.

Route description

Nursery Road, without the MD 168 designation, starts off at BWI Airport at Elkridge Landing Road The road starts as a two-lane road, but this grows to four lanes as it continues north from there through the BWI business district in Linthicum Heights, intersecting the west end of MD 762 (Andover Road). After this intersection, the road widens further to a six-lane divided boulevard, but only until it meets Maryland Route 295 at a diamond interchange. The route curves to the east, now a two-lane road sometimes featuring a shared left-turn lane, until it reaches Hammonds Ferry Road. Here, Nursery Road picks up the MD 168 designation.

As Maryland Route 168, Nursery Road continues east, quickly passing under I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway). The route passes through the North Linthicum area, passing over MD 295 again. It then enters a residential neighborhood and meets Maryland Route 648 (Baltimore–Annapolis Boulevard), where both Nursery Road and MD 168 end. Across from this intersection is the Nursery Road Light Rail Stop on the Baltimore Light Rail.

Public transportation

Public transportation is available along all parts of Nursery Road on Maryland Transit Administration Bus Route 17.
