Maryland Route 91
Maryland Route 91 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs from MD 32 at Gamber north to MD 30 near Upperco. MD 91 connects southeastern Carroll County and the far western part of Baltimore County south of Hampstead with MD 140 at Finksburg. The state highway was paved at Finksburg in the early 1910s. The remainder of MD 91 was constructed in the mid- to late 1920s.
Route description
MD 91 begins at an intersection with MD 32 at Gamber. The state highway heads northeast as two-lane undivided Gamber Road through a mix of farmland and scattered residential subdivisions. As MD 91 approaches its crossing of Middle Run, it is paralleled by a stretch of its old alignment, MD 879. The state highway passes three more pieces of old alignment before crossing Beaver Run and running past the historic farm Cold Saturday. MD 91 parallels another stretch of old alignment, MD 879D, to the west as the highway reaches Finksburg, where it intersects MD 140. There is no left turn allowed from southbound MD 140 to northbound MD 91; that movement is made via a jughandle adjacent to Finksburg Plaza Shopping Center. MD 91 continues northeast as Emory Road and receives the northern end of MD 879D just before the mainline highway crosses over the North Branch of the Patapsco River and the Maryland Midland Railway. To the north of the bridge is the final section of old alignment, a spur into an industrial park. MD 91 passes the road's namesake, Emory United Methodist Church, just before entering Baltimore County. The state highway reaches its northern terminus at MD 30 at the hamlet of Fowblesburg to the south of the village of Upperco. Emory Road continues east as a county highway a short distance to Old Hanover Road, which leads south to Boring.MD 91 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from MD 32 at Gamber north to MD 140 in Finksburg.
