The state highway runs 13.74 miles (22.11 km) from Beach Road and Lawton Avenue in Rock Hall east to MD 291 in Chestertown. MD 20, which connects Chestertown with several villages in western Kent County, was designated one of the original state roads to be improved by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909. The first section of the highway was completed near Fairlee in 1915. The highway east to Chestertown and southwest to Rock Hall was completed in the late 1910s. MD 20 was relocated south of Fairlee in the mid 1920s, at Fairlee in the mid 1950s, and in Rock Hall in the mid 1960s. The eastern terminus was rolled back from downtown Chestertown to MD 291 in the late 1980s. Contents 1 Route description 2 History 3 Junction list 4 References 5 External links Route description MD 20 begins at an intersection with Beach Road and Lawton Avenue in the town of Rock Hall just east of where Swan Creek empties into the Chesapeake Bay. The state highway heads east as Rock Hall Avenue, a two-lane road that passes by a few residential neighborhoods and a few marinas. In the downtown area of Rock Hall, MD 20 intersects MD 445 (Main Street) and heads through a commercial strip as a three-lane road with center turn lane. The state highway reduces to two lanes and its name changes to Rock Hall Road upon leaving the town limits, after which the highway intersects the old alignment of MD 20, MD 674 (Sharp Street) and MD 288 (Crosby Road). MD 20 curves to the northeast, passing through a mix of farmland and forest with scattered residences.[1][2] Shortly after crossing Shipyard Creek, MD 20 intersects MD 21 (Tolchester Beach Road). The state highway meets the southern terminus of MD 298 (Fairlee Road), then curves to the east outside of the village of Fairlee. At Old Fairlee Road, the highway's name changes to Chestertown Road and the highway passes through farmland. MD 20 intersects the northern end of MD 446 (Broad Neck Road) before crossing the East Fork of Langford Creek. The state highway intersects the southern end of MD 514 (Flatland Road) before curving to the southeast, crossing Radcliffe Creek, and entering the town limits of Chestertown. Shortly thereafter, MD 20 reaches its eastern terminus at an intersection with the western terminus of MD 291 (Morgnec Road), which leads to MD 213. The roadway continues southeast as High Street toward downtown Chestertown.[1][2] History The Chestertown–Rock Hall highway was one of the roads designated for improvement by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909.[3] The highway between Fairlee and near Broad Neck Road was paved in 1915.[4] The gap between Broad Neck Road and Chestertown, including High Street within the town, was constructed in 1917 and 1918. The segment from Fairlee to Shipyard Creek was built in 1918.[5] The remainder of the highway from Shipyard Creek through Rock Hall to Gratitude was completed between 1919 and 1921.[5][6] The first major realignment of MD 20 occurred between Fairlee and Shipyard Creek. A straight alignment was constructed between MD 21 and Shipyard Creek, bypassing Sandy Bottom Road and Ricauds Branch Road, by 1927.[7] MD 20 was widened from Chestertown to Rock Hall in 1948 and from Rock Hall to the western terminus in 1954.[8][9] A new alignment of MD 20 was constructed to the east of Fairlee around 1955.[9][10] The state highway originally followed Sharp Street and Main Street west to the intersection of Main Street and Rock Hall Avenue in Rock Hall. MD 20 was moved to an eastward extension of Rock Hall Avenue, bypassing the center of Rock Hall, in 1967.[11] MD 20's eastern terminus in downtown Chestertown was retracted to College Avenue in 1985 and to its present terminus at MD 291 in 1989.[12][13] Junction list The entire route is in Kent County.
