context_page_description: Maryland Route 765 is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These 26 highways are service roads constructed or old alignments maintained to provide access to private property or county highways whose access was compromised by the realignment of MD 2 and MD 4 in Calvert County. There are six signed mainline segments of MD 765 comprising the old alignment of the concurrency of MD 2 and MD 4 through Solomons, Lusby, St. Leonard, and Port Republic, and the county seat of Prince Frederick in southern Calvert County. There are also 20 unsigned sections of MD 765 south of Prince Frederick and along MD 2 between its junction with MD 4 in Sunderland and Owings in northern Calvert County.
  The portions of MD 765 that form the old alignment of Solomons Island Road were part of the original state road constructed as in the early 1910s, which ran the length of Calvert County from Solomons to Owings and continued north toward Annapolis. The highway was designated MD 2 in the late 1920s and extensively improved in the late 1930s and 1940s. The first portion of MD 765 was designated in the early 1950s when MD 2's bypass of Prince Frederick opened.
context_section_description: MD 765R, which is known as Solomons Island Road South, begins at the ramp that MD 2 follows to join MD 4 northbound. MD 2 continues south a short distance to its terminus at Lore Road in Solomons. MD 765R passes a ramp from southbound MD 2-4 to MD 765R and passes by several shopping centers. Shortly before reaching its northern terminus, the state highway intersects Patuxent Point Parkway, which provides the only full service connection between the divided highway and the service road. MD 765R and MD 765Q have their northern and southern termini, respectively, at Dowell Road. Dowell Road heads east as a county highway and west as unsigned MD 2V, which provides access to the northbound direction of MD 2-4.
  MD 765Q heads north as H.G. Trueman Road from Dowell Road and veers away from the divided highway, which it continues to parallel from a distance. After meeting Southern Connector Boulevard, which heads west as unsigned MD 765Z, at a roundabout, the highway curves northeast to intersect MD 760 (Rousby Hall Road) and pass through the village center of Lusby. MD 765Q then curves north and then northwest, intersecting MD 497 (Cove Point Road). A park and ride lot is located on the southwest corner of this intersection. Following this, the road passes Middleham Chapel and the entrance to Calvert Cliffs State Park. The state highway intersects MD 2-4; its name changes to Pardoe Road on the west side of the divided highway. MD 765Q continues north a short distance on the west side of the divided highway, passing Sollers Wharf Road before turning east to its northern terminus at another intersection with MD 2-4 south of Johns Creek, a tributary of St. Leonard Creek.
