Maryland Route 588 (MD 588) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 1.94 miles (3.12 km) from MD 7 in Rosedale north to the end of state maintenance in Overlea. MD 588 was constructed in the mid-1930s.

Route description

[edit]
View south along MD 588 in Rosedale

MD 588 begins at an intersection with MD 7 (Philadelphia Road) just west of Interstate 695 (I-695) (Baltimore Beltway) in Rosedale. Golden Ring Road continues south as a county highway toward U.S. Route 40 on the south side of the intersection. MD 588 heads north as a two-lane undivided road through residential subdivisions. At Kenwood Avenue, MD 588 leaves Golden Ring Road and continues north on Kenwood Avenue. The state highway passes through a commercial area before crossing I-95 with no access. MD 588 continues north through a residential area of Overlea, passing Overlea High School before reaching its northern terminus just beyond the intersection with Brookwood Avenue.[1][2]

History

[edit]

MD 588 was brought into the state highway system when the existing county highway was widened with concrete shoulders and resurfaced with macadam in 1935.[3][4] The state highway has changed little since then.
