Maryland Route 756

Maryland Route 756 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Old Snow Hill Road, the state highway runs from U.S. Route 13 east to US 113 within Pocomoke City. MD 756 is the original alignment of US 113 in Pocomoke City. That original alignment was bypassed by what is now MD 359 in the mid-1930s.

Route description

MD 756 begins at an intersection with US 13 in the middle of a commercial area on the eastern edge of incorporated Pocomoke City. Linden Avenue, which was formerly part of MD 756, heads west toward the central business district. MD 756 heads east as a two-lane undivided road past the commercial area and crosses Town Branch. From there, the state highway turns northeast through a mix of farms and residences. After meeting the northern end of MD 359 at an oblique angle, MD 756 reaches its northern terminus at US 113.
