York Road (Baltimore) - Definition and Overview

Maryland State Highway 45, locally known as York Road, is a main road from US 1 (North Avenue) in Baltimore, Maryland north to the Pennsylvania state line, where it continues to York, Pennsylvania. Until a bypass (now I-83) was built in the 1950s, it was the path of US 111; the road now serves mostly local traffic due to I-83. However, south of the Baltimore Beltway (I-695), MD 45 was US 111 until 1963, when US 111 was decommissioned.

Maryland State Highway 45 Bypass is a short bypass around the west side of downtown Towson, signed by Baltimore County.

MD 45 passes through the Baltimore suburbs of Towson, Lutherville-Timonium and Cockeysville. Within the Baltimore city limits, the historic Senator Theatre is on the road. In Towson, MD 45 passes through the Towson Circle, the first modern roundabout in Maryland.
