Maryland Route 736 (MD 736) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for much of its length as Midlothian Road, the state highway runs 1.27 miles (2.04 km) from Interstate 68 (I-68) north to Park Avenue within Frostburg. MD 736 is the primary access road to Frostburg State University. The former county highway was relocated when its interchange with I-68 was completed in the mid 1970s. The highway was designated MD 736 in 1998.

Route description

MD 736 begins at Midlothian Road's diamond interchange with I-68 and U.S. Route 40 (National Freeway) on the western edge of Frostburg. Midlothian Road continues southwest as a county highway toward Midlothian. Two-lane MD 736 heads northeast, becoming Braddock Road at Braddock Street, the old alignment of Midlothian Road. MD 736 passes the Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science before reaching University Drive, where the campus of Frostburg State University begins to line the southbound direction of the state highway. MD 736 crosses Sand Spring Run before reaching its northern terminus at an intersection with Park Avenue and Bowery Street. Bowery Street is one-way southbound toward the intersection while Park Avenue headed northwest is one-way westbound away from the intersection.^[1][2]
