Maryland Route 273
Maryland Route 273 (MD 273) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Telegraph Road, the state highway runs from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) near Harrisville east to the Delaware state line near Appleton, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 273 (DE 273). MD 273 is the main east–west highway of northern Cecil County, connecting Conowingo (via US 1), Port Deposit (via MD 276), and Rising Sun with Newark, Delaware, via the communities of Calvert and Fair Hill, where the highway intersects MD 272 and MD 213, respectively. The state highway also provides access to Fair Hill Training Center. MD 273 contains a section of MD 274 Truck between MD 274 in Rising Sun and MD 272 in Calvert.
MD 273 west of Fair Hill was constructed as one of the original state roads, with the portion west of the intersection of Sylmar Road east of Rising Sun constructed as part of US 1 in the 1910s. The first sections of MD 273 proper were paved in the early 1910s west of Calvert. The final section of the state highway between Fair Hill and Appleton was completed around 1930. MD 273 was also assigned to the original state road between the Susquehanna River and Octoraro Creek when US 1 was moved to a new alignment serving Conowingo Dam in the late 1920s; that segment was returned to county maintenance in the late 1950s. MD 273 was extended west to its present western terminus when the Rising Sun Bypass was completed in 1957.
==Route description==
MD 273 begins west of Harrisville at a perpendicular intersection with US 1, which heads south as Conowingo Road and north as the Rising Sun Bypass. The state highway heads south then immediately turns east onto Rising Sun Road. Rising Sun Road to the west of the intersection is signed as MD 273 eastbound from US 1 and is closed to through traffic westbound. MD 273 heads east as a two-lane road through farmland, passing through the hamlet of Harrisville before meeting MD 276 (Jacob Tome Memorial Highway) at a roundabout. The state highway enters the town of Rising Sun, where its name changes to Main Street and the highway intersects the western end of MD 274 (Queen Street). After leaving the town limits, MD 273 becomes Telegraph Road and intersects Sylmar Road and Half Mile Turn, both of which are old alignments of US 1. The state highway passes the Jeremiah Brown House and Mill Site and the Plumpton Park Zoo before crossing North East Creek.〔〔
MD 273 continues east through farmland to the community of Calvert, where the highway passes Calvert Manor and intersects MD 272, which heads south as North East Road and north as Chrome Road. An old alignment, Brick Meetinghouse Road, partially parallels the present course to the south, providing access to East Nottingham Friends Meetinghouse. MD 273 crosses Little North East Creek, intersects Blue Ball Road, and meets Little Elk Creek Road, which leads to Little Elk Farm and the historic home Hopewell. The state highway crosses Little Elk Creek just west of Rock United Presbyterian Church as the highway reaches Fair Hill, where the old alignment of Fair Hill Drive parallels MD 273 to the south before the intersection with MD 213, which heads south as Singerly Road and north as Lewisville Road. Beyond MD 213, MD 273 passes through Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, a state park most well known for the Fair Hill Training Center, an equestrian training facility. The state highway passes through a mix of fields and forest, passing under three service bridges. MD 273 parallels an abandoned alignment of Telegraph Road as it crosses Big Elk Creek. The state highway leaves the state park just west of Appleton Road, passing through a mix of farmland and residential subdivisions in Appleton before reaching its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line. The highway continues east as DE 273 (Nottingham Road) into Newark.〔〔
