Maryland Route 396 is the route designation of the extension of Massachusetts Avenue from Washington, D.C., into Bethesda, Maryland. The Maryland section of Massachusetts Avenue runs for just over two miles (3 km), from Westmoreland Circle at the District line to Goldsboro Road (Maryland Route 614).

Route description

Beginning at Westmoreland Circle atop the Washington D.C. line, Massachusetts Avenue and MD 396 travel northwest on four lanes of divided roadway through a residential area, fronted directly by homes and several patches of woodland. The Capital Crescent Trail passes over the street via overpass north of Little Falls Parkway. At Sangamore Road, the route condenses to two lanes with shoulders, still fronted by homes and carrying sidewalks. The route ends in the north at MD 614 (Goldsboro Road).
