[edit] Route description

The route begins at a skewed intersection with MD 140 in northern Reisterstown. After intersecting with MD 128 the route runs north as a two-lane semi-rural country road. MD 30 intersects with many minor routes along its path, including MD 91 in Fowblesburg, and MD 88 and MD 482 in Hampstead. After entering Hampstead the route is known as Main St, a heavily congested arterial street. Beyond Hampstead it resumes its Hanover Pike moniker and continues running northwest, meeting MD 27 in Manchester. North of Manchester, MD 30 intersects MD 86 and MD 496 before continuing to the Pennsylvania state line, where it becomes PA 94.

The route is dotted with many small communities, neighborhoods and houses; traffic levels are therefore rather elevated, given the otherwise rural nature of the route. Traffic levels in Hampstead and Manchester are high and MD 30 through these towns is often congested and even halted due to the high levels of traffic.

[edit] Hampstead Bypass

This article contains information about a planned or expected future road.
It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the road's construction and/or completion approaches and more information becomes available.

Due to the high levels of traffic and severe congestion that MD 30 experiences through Hampstead, the Maryland State Highway Administration has begun the construction of a bypass for MD 30 that will allow through travellers to avoid downtown Hampstead.

[edit] Route of bypass

According to the MDOT SHA Current Projects web portal, the bypass will be routed around the west of Hampstead, starting at a point on MD 30 slightly to the south of Wolf Hill Drive. The bypass will be 4.4 miles long, and will not only have full access controls, but will also contain two grade separations - one at MD 482 Houcksville Road (which will be a full interchange) and one at Shiloh Road. The bypass will end at a point north of Hampstead, possibly in the vicinity of Brodbeck Road.

[edit] Activities to date

As of January 2007, the engineering for the bypass is underway and is expected to be completed this year, and physical construction, having begun in Spring 2006, is expected to be completed in Fall 2008, with the route being opened to traffic in Summer 2008. The January 2007 SHA newsletter to residents states that activities for this month include environmental works such as strom drain installation, construction of the remaining stream crossing, and pile driving for the Houcksville Road bridge.
