Maryland Route 194
Encyclopedia
Maryland Route 194 is a state highway
in the U.S. state of Maryland
. The state highway runs 23.87 miles (38.4 km) from MD 26
in Ceresville
north to the Pennsylvania
state line near Taneytown
, where the highway continues as Pennsylvania Route 194
(PA 194) toward Hanover
. MD 194 is the main highway between Frederick
and Hanover; the state highway connects the towns of Walkersville
and Woodsboro
in northeastern Frederick County
with Keymar
and Taneytown in northwestern Carroll County
. MD 194 was blazed as a migration route in the 18th century and a pair of turnpikes in Frederick County in the 19th century, one of which was the last private toll road in Maryland. The state highway, which was originally designated MD 71, was rebuilt in Frederick County in the mid-1920s and constructed as Francis Scott Key Highway in Carroll County in the late 1920s and early 1930s. MD 194 received its modern route number in 1956 as part of a three-route number swap. The state highway's bypasses of Walkersville and Woodsboro opened in the early 1980s and mid-1990s, respectively.
on its way toward Frederick. MD 26 heads east from the intersection as a two-lane road toward Libertytown. MD 194 heads north as Woodsboro Pike, which starts as a four-lane divided highway that reduces to two lanes as the highway passes through the suburban communities of Discovery and Spring Garden
, where the state highway passes the historic Woodsboro and Frederick Turnpike Company Tollhouse
. At Walkersville High School
, the state highway enters the town of Walkersville and the highway's old alignment, Frederick Street, splits to the north. MD 194 collects the other end of Frederick Street and passes between residential subdivisions before leaving the town at the highway's intersection with Devilbiss Bridge Road and Daysville Road. The former road heads west toward the historic Harris Farm
; the latter highway leads to the 19th century Crum Road Bridge
.
MD 194 parallels the Maryland Midland Railway
's north–south line, Israel Creek, and Laurel Hill north to Woodsboro. At the south end of the town, Main Street, which is unsigned MD 194A, continues straight north while MD 194 veers northeast to bypass the town. The state highway starts to run concurrently
with MD 550 at Woodsboro Road, which heads east as MD 550 toward Libertytown. On the north side of town, MD 550 heads west as Woodsboro Creagerstown Road, which meets the northern end of Main Street before heading northwest toward Thurmont. MD 194 veers northeast and crosses at grade to the west side of the railroad track at New Midway
, where the highway intersects Legore Road, which leads to the LeGore Bridge
. The state highway passes through the village of Ladiesburg
before crossing Little Pipe Creek into Carroll County.
MD 194 continues as Francis Scott Key Highway through Keymar, where the north–south and east–west lines of the Maryland Midland Railway intersect. The state highway has an at-grade crossing of the east–west rail line and intersects Middleburg Road, which heads west as MD 77. In the hamlet of Bruceville, MD 194 crosses Big Pipe Creek and intersects Keysville Bruceville Road, which heads northwest toward the village of Keysville
and Terra Rubra
, the birthplace of Francis Scott Key
. The state highway passes the historic Winemiller Family Farm
and Keefer-Brubaker Farm
on its way to Taneytown. MD 194, which becomes Frederick Street, crosses a branch of Piney Creek and passes the Ludwick Rudisel Tannery House
. In the center of the Taneytown Historic District
, the state highway intersects MD 140 (Baltimore Street), where MD 194 becomes York Street. After leaving Taneytown, the state highway becomes Francis Scott Key Highway again as it heads through farmland. MD 194 crosses Piney Creek before reaching its northern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line. The roadway continues north as PA 194 (Frederick Pike) toward Littlestown
and Hanover.
and Winchester, Virginia
via York
, Frederick, Boonsboro
, and Williamsport
. The Frederick County portion of the highway later became the path of a pair of turnpikes. The Woodsboro and Double Pipe Creek Turnpike connected the namesake town and creek; the Woodsboro and Frederick Turnpike extended from Woodsboro south to the junction with the Liberty and Frederick Turnpike in Ceresville. The two turnpikes issuing from Ceresville were connected to Frederick by the Frederick and Woodsboro Turnpike. The Woodsboro and Frederick Turnpike was the last privately maintained toll road in Maryland when it was purchased by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1921.
What is now MD 194 was originally designated MD 71. The roads commission resurfaced the turnpikes' macadam surface from Ceresville to Little Pipe Creek to a width of 15 feet (4.6 m) by 1926. That same year, 1 miles (1.6 km) of concrete road was constructed north from MD 32 (now MD 140) in Taneytown. In 1930, construction began to complete the concrete road that MD 71 would follow through Carroll County. The state highway was completed in five sections from a short distance north of Big Pipe Creek to the Pennsylvania state line in 1933. The Carroll County section of MD 71 was dedicated as Francis Scott Key Highway in 1931. The two sections of MD 71 were separated by a county-maintained segment of highway through Keymar. This gap in the state road system remained through at least 1949.
MD 71 received a new steel I-beam bridge over Big Pipe Creek in 1940; this bridge was replaced in 2005. The state highway was widened through Taneytown in 1948. MD 71's present steel I-beam bridge over Little Pipe Creek at the county line was started in 1953 and completed in 1954 along with 1 miles (1.6 km) of approach roads. The state highway was reconstructed and widened from the Little Pipe Creek Bridge to New Midway in 1952 and 1953. Reconstruction of the highway commenced from New Midway to Woodsboro in 1953, from Woodsboro to Ceresville in 1956, and from Taneytown to the Pennsylvania state line in 1957.
In 1956, MD 71 was involved in a three-route number change involving highways in three different areas of the state. MD 71 was assigned to the Blue Star Memorial Highway then under construction from Queenstown
to the Delaware
state line; this designation lasted only three years before U.S. Route 301
was rerouted onto the highway in 1959. MD 71 was designated MD 194 to match the adjacent numbered highway in Pennsylvania. MD 194 was originally assigned to Flower Avenue in Takoma Park
; Flower Avenue was designated MD 787
.
MD 194's bypass of Walkersville was completed around 1981. The state highway's bypass of Woodsboro was under construction by 1995 and completed in 1997; Main Street through town was designated MD 194A. MD 550, which ran concurrently with MD 194 along Main Street, joined the latter route on the new bypass and on a bypass section of its own at the north end of town. In conjunction with the reconstruction of MD 26 as a divided highway from Market Street (then part of MD 355) to Ceresville in 1997, the MD 26–MD 194 intersection was reconfigured so the primary movement through the intersection is between MD 26 to the west and MD 194 to the north. The southernmost portion of MD 194 was an extension of the MD 26 divided highway. This configuration was chosen because two-thirds of traffic passing through the intersection was between Frederick and Woodsboro.

MD 550, which ran concurrently with MD 194 along Main Street, joined the latter route on the new bypass and on a bypass section of its own at the north end of town.
