Maryland Route 755 (MD 755) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Edgewood Road, the state highway runs 1.79 mi (2.88 km) from an entrance to Aberdeen Proving Ground north to U.S. Route 40 (US 40) in Edgewood. Originally constructed as MD 408 in 1930, the state highway became a southern extension of MD 24 in the early 1950s. MD 755 was designated in the early 1970s after MD 24 moved to its present course.
MD 755 begins at an entrance to the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground. The state highway heads north as a two-lane road that passes under the Amtrak Northeast Corridor and passes by two entrances to the Edgewood MARC station, which is a stop on MARC's Penn Line. After leaving the village of Edgewood and passing Trimble Road, MD 755 expands to a three-lane road with center turn lane. The state highway continues north through residential subdivisions until an acute intersection with MD 24 (Emmorton Road). Beyond that intersection, MD 755 expands to a four-lane undivided highway and enters a commercial area before reaching its northern terminus at US 40 (Pulaski Highway). Edgewood Road continues north as a two-lane county highway that crosses Winters Run, has a one-lane underpass of CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision, and intersects MD 7 before veering northeast to another intersection with MD 24 just south of Interstate 95 (I-95).
