Route description
MD 390 begins at Blair Portal, a traffic circle at the boundary between the District of Columbia and Silver Spring, Maryland.[1][2] 16th Street Northwest heads south toward the White House, Eastern Avenue heads southeast along the border, North Portal Drive heads southwest toward Rock Creek Park, and MD 384 (Colesville Road) heads northeast toward downtown Silver Spring, where Colesville Road continues as part of U.S. Route 29 (US 29).[2] MD 390 heads north from Blair Portal as a six-lane divided highway between several apartment complexes.[1][2] After intersecting MD 410 (East–West Highway) and Spring Street, which heads northeast into downtown Silver Spring, the state highway curves to the northwest and passing a shopping center on the northbound side. MD 390 curves north again and crosses over CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision and MARC's Brunswick Line. North of the railroad tracks, the state highway passes through a residential area, cutting across the street grid at an angle, including an oblique intersection with Second Street. After passing Grace Church Road, the two directions of MD 390 split to terminate at separate intersections with MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) in the Montgomery Hills neighborhood of Silver Spring. There is no access between northbound MD 97 and southbound MD 390.[2]
