Old Baltimore Pike

Old Baltimore Pike (Road 26) constitutes a minor arterial stretching 7.10 miles east from the Maryland state line to SR 273 (Christiana Bypass). Heading 0.9 miles north through Christiana, Old Baltimore Pike becomes a part of SR 7 between East Main Street and Stanton Christiana Road adjacent to the exchange with SR 1 at Christiana Mall.

Although not a numbered route west of Christiana, Old Baltimore Pike is a well used commuter road serving an array of subdivisions south of Interstate 95 and Newark. West of Iron Hill, Old Baltimore Pike connects with MD 281 (Red Hill Road) to Elkton.

Construction in the mid 1990s widened Old Baltimore Pike east from SR 72 (Sunset Lake Road) to SR 273 outside Christiana. The upgrade transitioned Old Baltimore Pike from a narrow two-lane road into a three lane boulevard with full outside shoulders.
