MD 313 in Barclay
Maryland Route 302 (MD 302) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Barclay Road, the state highway runs 10.21 miles (16.43 km) from U.S. Route 301 (US 301) near Barclay east to the Delaware state line near Templeville, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 11 (DE 11). MD 302 follows the Queen Anne's–Caroline county line for part of its length near Templeville. The county line road is considered to be in Caroline County for maintenance purposes. MD 302 was first paved in Barclay in the early 1920s and from Templeville to the state line in the late 1920s. The gap between Barclay and Templeville was filled in the late 1930s. MD 302 was extended west toward Church Hill in the late 1940s and to US 301 in the mid-1960s.
MD 302 begins at an intersection with US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) about midway between Church Hill and Barclay. Hall Road continues west as a county highway toward Church Hill. MD 302 heads east as two-lane Barclay Road through farmland. The state highway crosses Red Lion Branch just before entering the town of Barclay, where the highway's name changes to Church Street. MD 302 crosses the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad and intersects MD 313 (Goldsboro Road). The state highway becomes Barclay Road again upon leaving the town limits and passes through a mix of farmland and forest. The state highway runs atop the Queen Anne's–Caroline county line starting just before the intersection with Woodyard Road. MD 302 passes through the town of Templeville, where the highway intersects MD 454 (Crown Stone Road). East of the town, shortly after crossing Beaver Dam Ditch, MD 302 reaches its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line. The highway continues east as DE 11 (Arthursville Road) toward Hartly. The section of MD 302 between US 301 and MD 454 serves as part of a route connecting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area to Dover, Delaware.
