context_page_description: Maryland Route 322 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Easton Parkway, the highway runs 5.12 miles on the west side of Easton between two junctions with U.S. Route 50. MD 322 serves as a bypass of downtown Easton for traffic between US 50 and highways to western Talbot County, including MD 33 toward Saint Michaels and Tilghman Island and MD 333 toward Oxford. Easton Parkway was constructed in the mid to late 1960s. The state highway was originally designated as part of MD 33; MD 322 became the sole designation on the bypass in 1978.
context_section_description: MD 322 begins at a directional intersection with US 50 (Ocean Gateway) south of Easton; there is no direct access from southbound MD 322 to westbound US 50.  MD 322 heads north as a four-lane divided highway to MD 565 (Washington Street).  Beyond this intersection, the state highway reduces to a two-lane undivided road, curves to the northwest, and crosses Paper Mill Pond.  MD 332 parallels the pond through the highway's intersection with MD 333, which heads southwest as Oxford Road and northeast as Peach Blossom Road.  After the pond turns west, the state highway intersects Port Street, which heads east toward downtown Easton as MD 334 and west as a county highway into the Easton Point industrial area.
  MD 322 temporarily expands to a four-lane undivided highway at its intersection with MD 33, which heads east as Bay Street toward downtown Easton and west as St. Michaels Road.  The MD 322–MD 33 intersection lies on a crossing of Tanyard Creek just east of its confluence with an unnamed creek to form the North Fork of the Tred Avon River.  MD 322 continues northeast past several shopping centers and industrial parks between MD 33 and Glebe Road.  Near its northern terminus, the state highway meets the northern end of Washington Street and Airpark Drive, which immediately has an intersection with MD 662 (Centreville Road) before entering an industrial park adjacent to Easton Airport.  MD 322 reaches its northern terminus at a directional intersection with US 50.
  MD 322 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial for its entire length.
