Maryland Route 3 Business is a 5.1 mile thouroughfare through Glen Burnie, Maryland and is the northernmost part of the Robert Crain Highway. Maryland Business 3 starts at the Governor Ritchie Highway (Maryland Route 2) and continues south into Southgate and then ends officially at Interstate 97 where it becomes New Cut Road and the Business Route 3 designation is discontinued. Business Route 3 is the only Maryland state highway that no longer connects with its parent route. The reason behind that is because its parent route, Maryland Route 3, used to have the right of way where Interstate 97 currently is. Now MD 3 ends 3 miles south of Business Route 3's junction with Interstate 97. Robert Crain Highway is also the names of Maryland Route 3 between Millersville and Bowie and after Route 3 terminates at U.S. Route 301 in Bowie, southbound US 301 continues as that name until it reaches the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge that crosses the Potomac River into Dahlgren, Virginia
