Maryland Route 304 (MD 304) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 15.23 miles (24.51 km) from Spider Web Road near Centreville east to MD 312 in Bridgetown. MD 304 connects Centreville with U.S. Route 301 (US 301) and several small settlements in central Queen Anne's County and northern Caroline, including Ruthsburg and Bridgetown. The state highway is officially split into two sections, MD 304 and MD 304A, separated by a superstreet intersection with US 301. MD 304 originally consisted of its present streets in Centreville and a short piece of road to the east. The state highway was gradually extended eastward across central Queen Anne's County in the late 1930s and 1940s, reaching Ruthsburg in 1948. West of Centreville, MD 304 took over MD 606 in 1951 to achieve its present western terminus. The state highway was extended east to Bridgetown in the mid-1960s, taking over part of MD 405. Maintenance of the streets in Centreville was returned to the town in the 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
