Alternatives
Western Bypass
Alternatives generally start at the junction of the MD5/US 301 interchange at T.B. The alignments head in a southwesterly direction and cross Burch Branch. All options stay west of the Robin Dale Country Club and then cross the Mattawoman Creek into Charles County. The alternatives then merge into one alignment and cross over MD 228, continues in a south-westerly direction and crosses Piney Branch and McDaniel Road. The alternative veers to the west and then shifts to the south-west just past Middletown Road. It continues to the east of the Brookwood Estates community where it crosses Port Tobacco Creek/Pages Swamp. The corridor ties back into US 301 near Turkey Hill Road. Interchanges are tentatively planned for the northern tie-in at the T.B. split and southern tie-in near Turkey Hill Road, MD 228 and the proposed Cross-County Connector.
