Known as Germantown Road, the highway runs from MD 28 in Darnestown north to MD 355 in Germantown. MD 118 is the four- to six-lane main highway through the central Montgomery County community of Germantown. The highway also connects Germantown and Darnestown with Interstate 270 (I-270). The northernmost part of MD 118 was paved by 1910. The highway was extended south through Germantown in the early 1920s and extended to Darnestown in the early 1930s. MD 118 was relocated and expanded to a divided highway through Germantown in the late 1980s and late 1990s, and near its northern end in the mid-1990s. ==Route description== MD 118 begins at an intersection with MD 28 (Darnestown Road) in the village of Darnestown. The highway heads north as a two-lane road that crosses Great Seneca Creek and passes an electrical substation south of Black Rock Road. MD 118 enters the suburban area of Germantown at the entrance to South Germantown Recreational Park, which includes the Maryland SoccerPlex. The route expands to a six-lane divided highway just south of its intersection with MD 117 (Clopper Road). MD 118 continues northeast and meets the southern end of Father Hurley Boulevard, which serves the northwestern part of Germantown, then crosses CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision next to the Germantown station on MARC's Brunswick Line.〔〔 MD 118 intersects Wisteria Drive, Middlebrook Road, and Crystal Rock Drive within the Germantown Town Center commercial area, which contains the BlackRock Center for the Arts. MD 118 passes the Germantown campus of the United States Department of Energy at its partial cloverleaf interchange with I-270 (Eisenhower Memorial Highway), through which the highway temporarily reduces to four lanes. The route passes the Germantown campus of Montgomery College before reaching its northern terminus at MD 355 (Frederick Road), which leads to MD 27 a short distance to the north. Germantown Road continues east as a two-lane county highway toward Montgomery Village.〔〔 MD 118 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from MD 117 to its northern terminus at MD 355 in Germantown.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maryland Route 118」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
