Maryland Route 577 (MD 577) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Reliance Road, the state highway runs 3.70 miles (5.95 km) from MD 392 at Reliance north to MD 313 near Federalsburg. MD 577 follows the Dorchester–Caroline county line for its entire length. The state highway is considered to be in Caroline County for maintenance purposes. The first section of MD 577 was paved near its northern terminus by 1910 and reconstructed as a state highway in 1935. The highway was completed south to Reliance in 1942.
MD 577 begins at an intersection with MD 392 (Finchville–Reliance Road) 0.03 miles (0.048 km) west of the Delaware state line.
