Maryland 210 comprises a 21.27 divided highway from the Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center to Washington, D.C. The state route carries between four and six lanes of traffic through Charles and Prince Georges Counties. Traffic lights line the Indian Head Highway as it serves the growing suburbs of Washington such as Oxon Hill, Tantallon, Accokeek, Bryans Road, and Potomac Heights. The southern terminus of Interstate 295 ties into Maryland 210 at its junction with the Capital Beltway (Interstates 95 & 495).
