Route description

MD 520 begins at a boat ramp at the southern end of Whites Neck adjacent to the mouth of Whites Neck Creek at St. Catherine Sound, an embayment of the Wicomico River. The wide two-lane undivided state highway heads west then north through farmland. MD 520 veers northeast through a forested area before crossing Whites Neck Creek and reaching its northern terminus at MD 239 near the community of Bushwood.

History

MD 520 was constructed as a gravel road in 1933. The state highway was widened and resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1956. MD 520 has changed very little since then.
