Route description

MD 112 begins at a three-legged intersection with River Road that also serves as the western terminus of MD 190. That highway heads southeast toward Potomac; county-maintained River Road heads west through the hamlet of Seneca near the mouth of Seneca Creek and the Seneca Historic District. MD 112 heads east and then northeast as a two-lane undivided road. The highway transitions from rural to suburban surroundings before reaching its eastern terminus at MD 28 (Darnestown Road) in the village of Darnestown.[1][2]
History
editThe first segment of MD 112 was a 1-mile (1.6 km) concrete road south from MD 28 in Darnestown that was built in 1923.[3][4] The highway was extended southwest to the hamlet of Seneca just east of Seneca Creek in 1929 and 1930.[5][6] MD 112's western terminus was originally a short distance west of MD 190; the highway was truncated at MD 190 between 1975 and 1977.[7][8]
