Maryland Route 35 (MD 35) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Ellerslie Road, the state highway runs 2.37 miles (3.81 km) from MD 36 in Corriganville north to the Pennsylvania state line in Ellerslie, where the highway continues north as Pennsylvania Route 96 (PA 96). MD 35 was constructed in the late 1910s and was one of the original signed state highways in 1927. The state highway runs through the valley of Wills Creek, an important passage for the railroads beginning in the mid 19th century.
MD 35 begins at an intersection with MD 36 (Mount Savage Road) in Corriganville. The state highway immediately intersects Kreigbaum Road, which is unsigned MD 831C. After leaving Corriganville, MD 35 heads north as a two-lane road lined with scattered residences. The state highway runs through a narrow valley between Wills Mountain to the east and Little Allegheny Mountain to the west, paralleled by Wills Creek and CSX's Keystone Subdivision. MD 35 passes through Ellerslie, within which the highway crosses a branch of Wills Creek, before reaching its northern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line. The highway continues north as PA 96 (Hyndman Road) toward Hyndman.
MD 35 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial for its entire length.
