Route description
MD 552 begins at a point between First Street and Church Street in the unincorporated village of Dominion. The highway continues south as county-maintained Little Creek Road. MD 552 heads east to an intersection with Parson Island Road, where the state highway turns north. The state highway passes through farmland and becomes lined with residences as it approaches an intersection with MD 18 (Main Street) in Chester. MD 552 continues a short distance between shopping centers to its northern terminus at a right-in/right-out interchange with US 50 / US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) at Exit 39B.[1][2]
History
MD 552 was paved starting from MD 18 toward Dominion in two sections that opened in 1933 and 1935, respectively.[3][4][5] MD 552 was extended north to connect with the ramps for Exit 39B of US 50 and US 301 when that highway was upgraded to a freeway around 1991.[6][7]
