Merger of this article and MD 3

Latest comment: 3 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Yeah, you read the title. I want to merge this article with the article for Maryland Route 3, and include the description for the Newburg to Bowie section of US Route 301 in Maryland. As well as include the history of Robert Crain and his badgering of the state into building this highway. Including Maryland 3 similar in a way to how the Pennsylvania Turnpike treats I-276.

The Crain Highway is today parts of US 301, MD 3, I-97, and MD 3 Bus., which is why this page is set up as a set index page linking to those four articles. Any relevant historical information about the Crain Highway and its construction can be included in the US 301, MD 3, and I-97 articles. We should not merge this to MD 3, since the Crain Highway is today more than MD 3, and we should not add a description of the Newburg to Bowie section of US 301 to the MD 3 article, since that is off-topic and not pertaining to the current length of MD 3.

I never stopped to consider that MD 3 continued north on what is now I-97 into Baltimore, so merging the articles wouldn’t make sense. Deepblueazure (talk) 14:32, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Closing, given the uncontested objections. Klbrain (talk) 12:39, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
