U.S. Route 50 in Maryland
U.S. Route 50
(
US 50
) is a major east–west route of the
U.S. Highway system
, stretching just over from
Ocean City, Maryland
on the Atlantic Ocean to
West Sacramento, California
. In the
U.S. state
of
Maryland
, US 50 exists in two sections. The longer of these serves as a major route connecting
Washington, D.C.
with Ocean City; the latter is the eastern terminus of the highway. The other section passes through the southern end of
Garrett County
for less than as part of the
Northwestern Turnpike
, entering
West Virginia
at both ends. One notable section of US 50 is the dual-span
Chesapeake Bay Bridge
across the
Chesapeake Bay
, which links central Maryland with the Eastern Shore region, allowing motorists to reach Ocean City and the
Delaware Beaches
.
