context_page_description: The following is a list of state highways in Maryland shorter than one mile in length with route numbers between 800 and 899. Most of these highways act as service roads, old alignments of more prominent highways, or connectors between one or more highways. Many of these highways are unsigned and have multiple segments with the same number. Several of these highways have their own articles; those highways are summarized here and a link is provided to the main article. This list does not include highways where at least one highway of that number is at least one mile in length. All highways at least one mile in length have their own article. The highways shorter than one mile with the same number are covered in the main article for the highway.
context_section_description: Maryland Route 896, which is known as Mechanicsville Road, runs 0.21 miles (0.34 km) from the Delaware state line west and north to the Pennsylvania state line in far northeastern Cecil County. The two-lane highway, whose only intersection is with Little Egypt Road, connects Delaware Route 896, which heads southeast into Newark, with Pennsylvania Route 896, which heads northwest toward Strickersville. The highway was constructed as a 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) concrete road in 1925 as Maryland's very short portion of the highway between Newark and the Lincoln Highway near Lancaster. The state highway was originally designated Maryland Route 278. The Delaware and Pennsylvania routes were numbered 896 by 1938. MD 278's designation was changed to MD 896 between 1940 and 1946.
