Route 404

Maryland Route 404

Multi state route 404 forms the primary route from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (U.S. 50-301) to the Delaware Beaches. Measuring 24.61 miles through Talbot and Caroline Counties, MD 404 leads east from Wye Mills and U.S. 50 to Queen Anne, Hillsboro and Denton. Delaware Route 404 extends the route southeast to Bridgeville.

Increasing traffic demands during the Summer tourist season fueled a $158 million project to upgrade MD 404 from two to four lanes between U.S. 50 and the Denton Bypass. The 11.3 mile stretch fully opened to traffic following a ribbon cutting ceremony held on November 20, 2017. Construction started on the divided highway in June 2015.1
