Maryland Route 662 (MD 662) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These highways are sections of old alignment of U.S. Route 50 (US 50) between Easton and Wye Mills in Talbot County and Queen Anne's County. The three mainline sections of MD 662 pass through the villages of Longwoods, Skipton, and Wye Mills as they parallel US 50. The three main sections of MD 662 were designated in 1948 following the construction of US 50's bypasses of Easton and Wye Mills. MD 662C was extended south in Easton in the late 1990s.
There are three mainline sections of MD 662:
MD 662C begins as Centreville Road at a dead end in an industrial area adjacent to Easton Airport. The highway immediately intersects Airpark Drive (unsigned MD 322B), which is used to access MD 322 (Easton Parkway) and Washington Street, the main north–south street through the center of Easton. MD 662C continues north between US 50 on the east and the airport on the west. At the northeast corner of the airport property, the route intersects Airport Road, which provides access to the airport to the west and US 50 and MD 309 to the east. At that intersection, the state highway's name changes to Longwoods Road. After passing unsigned MD 662D, a connector to US 50, the highway veers away from US 50 through farmland, passing All Saints' Church. MD 662C crosses Potts Mill Creek before passing through the hamlet of Longwoods. After passing Probasco Landing Road, the state highway reaches its northern terminus at US 50 opposite the southern terminus of MD 662B. MD 662B heads northeast from its southern terminus at US 50 and MD 662C as Old Skipton Road. The highway passes between residences on large lots before entering a forested area and crossing Skipton Creek. The highway veers north and then northwest, crossing another creek and passing through the hamlet of Skipton before reaching its northern terminus at US 50.
