These five highways are service roads that parallel and provide access to U.S. Route 50 and US 301, which are concurrent on a six-lane freeway known as the Blue Star Memorial Highway, in Cape St. Claire and Skidmore on the Broadneck peninsula in Anne Arundel County. MD 908A and MD 908C parallel the eastbound direction of US 50-301. MD 908B parallels the westbound direction of the freeway. MD 908D connects MD 908C and MD 908B and provides full access to US 50-301 just west of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. MD 908E, created in 2009, serves as an access road to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge administration building.

Route description
MD 908A and MD 908C
MD 908A is the designation for Buschs Frontage Road, a 0.55 mi (0.89 km) service road that parallels the eastbound direction of US 50-301 in Cape St. Claire. The state highway begins as the Exit 29A ramp from eastbound US 50-301. MD 908A gains a westbound lane and closely parallels the eastbound direction of US 50-301. After passing an on-ramp to the freeway, the state highway veers around MD 179's interchange with US 50-301 and reaches its eastern terminus at MD 179 (St. Margarets Road).[1][2]
MD 908C is the designation for Whitehall Road and Skidmore Drive, a 2.52 mi (4.06 km) service road that parallels the eastbound direction of US 50-301 between Cape St. Claire and Skidmore. The state highway begins as Whitehall Road at the intersection of MD 179 and MD 908A. MD 908C closely parallels eastbound US 50-301, temporarily moving away from the freeway for an interchange with the eastbound direction of the freeway. After passing a shopping center, the state highway reaches an intersection with Whitehall Road, which turns south as a county highway, and a right-in/right-out interchange with eastbound US 50-301. MD 908C continues east as Skidmore Drive. The state highway veers around US 50-301's interchange with Oceanic Drive, then intersects Holly Beach Farm Road just before the highway's eastern terminus just east of Oceanic Drive, which is unsigned MD 908D.[1][3]
MD 908B
MD 908B is the designation for East College Parkway, a 2.09 mi (3.36 km) service road that parallels the westbound direction of US 50-301 between Cape St. Claire and Skidmore. The state highway begins where East College Parkway makes a 90-degree turn east to closely parallel US 50-301; the north–south segment of East College Parkway is unsigned MD 931R. MD 908B closely parallels the westbound lanes of US 50-301 until the highway approaches Oceanic Drive. After passing a ramp to westbound US 50-301, the state highway reaches its eastern terminus at Oceanic Drive. The roadway continues east as South Beach Road, the entrance to Sandy Point State Park.[1][4]
MD 908D
MD 908D is the designation for Oceanic Drive, a 0.41 mi (0.66 km) service road that connects MD 908C and MD 908B in Skidmore and has a partial cloverleaf interchange with US 50-301. This interchange, Exit 32, is the closest interchange to the western end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and its toll plaza.[1][5]
MD 908E
MD 908E is the designation for Admin Service Road, a 0.24 mi (0.39 km) road that connects the ramp from MD 908D to westbound US 50-301 to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge administration building. The route was created in 2009 and is maintained by the Maryland Transportation Authority.[1]
