context_page_description: Maryland Route 560 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Gorman Road, the state highway runs 9.32 miles from U.S. Route 50 in Gorman north to MD 135 in Mountain Lake Park. MD 560 serves as the main street of Loch Lynn Heights. The state highway also provides a connection through southeastern Garrett County between US 50 on the east side of Backbone Mountain and the Oakland area. MD 560 was constructed from both ends beginning in the early 1930s. The northern segment was extended over Backbone Mountain in the late 1930s, but it was not until 1949 that the gap in MD 560 was filled.
context_section_description: MD 560 begins at an intersection with US 50 (George Washington Highway) just west of the North Branch Potomac River and CSX's Thomas Subdivision in Gorman.  After passing through the village and crossing Nydegger Run, the state highway heads north as two-lane Gorman Road through farmland.  MD 560 crosses Glade Run and meets White Church Steyer Road next to the hamlet of Kearney before turning northwest and crossing Backbone Mountain at Kelso Gap.  After descending the mountain, the state highway turns west toward Loch Lynn Heights.  The name of MD 560 changes to Lothian Street upon entering the town limits.  At Argyle Street, MD 560 veers west onto Third Street then turns north onto Paull Street.  MD 560 leaves Loch Lynn Heights by crossing CSX's Mountain Subdivision at grade and enters Mountain Lake Park, where the state highway immediately reaches its northern terminus at MD 135 (Maryland Highway).
