Maryland Route 529 (MD 529) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 2.57 miles (4.14 km) from MD 675 in Princess Anne north to U.S. Route 13 (US 13) near Eden in northern Somerset County. MD 529 is the old alignment of US 13. The state highway was designated from Princess Anne through Allen to Fruitland in Wicomico County when US 13 was relocated in the early 1930s. MD 529 was removed from the state highway system in segments north of its present terminus in sections in the late 1950s and early 1960s. MD 529 was redesignated along an old alignment of US 13 that had previously been MD 663 from Fruitland to Salisbury in the mid-1960s before being removed around 1981.
MD 529 begins at an acute intersection with MD 675 (Somerset Avenue) on the northern edge of Princess Anne. The state highway curves to the east and crosses the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Subdivision rail line. MD 529 gradually curves to the north through a mix of farmland and forest. The state highway reaches its northern terminus at US 13 (Ocean Highway) immediately after crossing the railroad a second time south of Eden. The roadway continues straight as county-maintained Allen Road, which was once part of MD 529.
