Maryland Route 168 (MD 168) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Nursery Road, the highway runs 1.28 mi from Hammonds Ferry Road in Linthicum east to MD 648 in Pumphrey in northern Anne Arundel County. MD 168 was built in the late 1920s.
Route description
MD 168 begins at an intersection with Hammonds Ferry Road in a mixed commercial and industrial area at the northern end of the unincorporated community of Linthicum. Access between MD 168 and eastbound Interstate 695 (I-695, Baltimore Beltway) is via the county highway between the state highway and the Patapsco River to the north. The west leg of the intersection is county-maintained West Nursery Road, which curves to the south, has a diamond interchange with MD 295 (Baltimore–Washington Parkway), and serves a business district near Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. MD 168 heads east as a two-lane undivided road that passes underneath I-695 and intersects Fairview Avenue, which is unsigned MD 969A and provides access to westbound I-695. The state highway enters a residential area after it crosses MD 295. MD 168 reaches its eastern terminus at its junction with MD 648 (Baltimore–Annapolis Boulevard) in Pumphrey. Nursery Road continues east into the parking lot for the Nursery Road station of MTA Maryland's Baltimore Light RailLink.
