Route description

MD 769D

MD 769D is the designation for 52nd Avenue, a 0.29-mile (0.47 km) section of old alignment of MD 201 on the southern edge of Bladensburg. The state highway begins at a dead end adjacent to the Baltimore–Washington Parkway. MD 769D heads north through an industrial area, crossing the Alexandria Extension of CSX's Capital Subdivision at grade before reaching its northern terminus at MD 201 (Kenilworth Avenue). MD 769C continues north along the same general alignment, but the two segments of MD 769 meet MD 201 at separate intersections 0.06 mi (0.097 km) apart.^[1][2]

MD 769C

MD 769C is a 1.06 mi (1.71 km) segment of old alignment of MD 201 in Bladensburg. The state highway begins as 52nd Avenue a short distance north of MD 769D's northern terminus. MD 769C heads north through an industrial area, then enters the town of Bladensburg and curves to the west through a residential area. The state highway meets Quincy Street on a tangent and assumes that name, then turns north and becomes 48th Street at the intersection with an unnamed road that provides access to northbound MD 201. After an intersection with MD 450 (Annapolis Road), MD 769C reaches its northern terminus at another interchange with northbound MD 201.^[1][3]

MD 769B

MD 769B is the designation for a 0.45-mile (0.72 km) state-maintained segment of Edmonston Road that was formerly the southernmost portion of MD 205. The state highway begins at an intersection with MD 450 (Annapolis Road) a short distance east of MD 769C. MD 769B heads north, leaving the town of Bladensburg before reaching its northern terminus between 51st Street and 53rd Place.^[1][4]
