Route description
MD 424 begins at an intersection with MD 214 (Central Avenue) in Davidsonville. The roadway continues south as Birdsville Road. The state highway heads north as a two-lane road, passing the historic home Mount Airy and a mix of residential subdivisions and farmland. After crossing Governors Bridge Road, MD 424 expands to a four-lane divided highway around its interchange with U.S. Route 50 and US 301 (John Hanson Highway). The state highway reduces to two lanes north of the interchange and through to the intersection with MD 450 (Defense Highway) on the southern edge of Crofton.[1][2] MD 424 veers to the northwest and passes through a mix of residential subdivisions and parks until the highway reaches its northern terminus at MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway). The roadway continues west as Conway Road.[2]
