MD 480 in Greensboro

Maryland Route 314 (MD 314) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 4.93 miles (7.93 km) from the beginning of state maintenance in Greensboro east to the Delaware state line at Whiteleysburg, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 12 (DE 12). What is now MD 314 was paved in Greensboro in the 1910s. The remainder of the state highway to Whiteleysburg was constructed in the late 1920s. MD 314 west of MD 480 was originally MD 315. When MD 313 bypassed Greensboro in 1950, MD 314 was extended west to its present terminus.

MD 314 begins in the town of Greensboro at a former railroad crossing with an unused railroad grade owned by the Maryland Department of Transportation between Cosden Street and Granby Street. Sunset Avenue continues west as a municipal street. MD 314 heads east toward the center of town, where the highway intersects MD 480 (Main Street). After crossing the Choptank River, the state highway meets MD 313 (Greensboro Road). MD 314 continues east as Whiteleysburg Road through the eastern part of Greensboro, then leaves the town limits and passes through farmland. Immediately before the Delaware state line in the hamlet of Whiteleysburg, Two State Road, which is unsigned MD 314A, splits to the east while the main road curves southeast. At the state line, MD 314 becomes DE 12, which immediately turns northeast onto Whites Lane, soon becoming Burnite Mill Road and heading toward Felton. Meanwhile, Whiteleysburg Road continues southeast toward Harrington.
