Route description
Maryland Route 475 began at an intersection with South Street, which is the eastbound half of Maryland Route 144 on the west leg of the intersection. The route headed north as a four-lane undivided highway with a speed limit of 25 mph (40 km/h) through the edge of downtown Frederick. MD 475 then crossed All Saints Street, which provides access to the Frederick terminal station of MARC's Brunswick Line. After crossing channelized Carroll Creek, the route met its northern terminus at Maryland Route 144 (Patrick Street), which heads west as a one-way street. East Street continues north further into the Frederick Historic District.
History
MD 475 was first assigned as an unsigned route in 2002, in anticipation of a project to extend East Street south to connect with a new interchange on Interstate 70 that also serves the extended Maryland Route 85.[2] The extension of East Street and the single point urban interchange at I-70 were completed and opened in December 2009.[3] In 2009, MD 475 was transferred to the city of Frederick and removed from the state highway system.[1]
The Maryland Route 475 designation was used once before on a street in the city of Crisfield in Somerset County, as shown on the 1939 map of Maryland's state highways. That road is now Maryland Route 358, Jacksonville Road.
