Maryland Route 669 (MD 669) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Springs Road, the state highway runs 1.69 miles (2.72 km) from U.S. Route 40 Alternate (US 40 Alternate) in Grantsville north to the Pennsylvania state line, where the highway continues as Pennsylvania Route 669 (PA 669). MD 669 was constructed in the early 1930s as MD 417 and renumbered in the early 1960s to match its Pennsylvania counterpart.

Route description

MD 669 begins at US 40 Alternate (Main Street) in Grantsville. The state highway heads north as a two-lane road, leaving the town limits of Grantsville and passing scattered residences and farmland.[1][2] MD 669 reaches its northern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line, where Springs Road continues north toward Springs and Salisbury as PA 669.[2][3]

History
