Route 2

Maryland Route 2 constitutes an 80.56 mile long route (Pruett, 2010) roughly following the west shore of Chesapeake Bay between Solomons Island and the city of Baltimore. Connecting the capital city of Annapolis with Glen Burnie, a large suburb of Baltimore, among other locations via the Governor Ritchie Highway, the majority of MD 2 is a four lane, divided highway.
