With a modest fuel budget of approximately $11, it is an affordable excursion for those traveling within the Northeast region of Maryland.

Drive Character
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that demands your full attention as you transition between various regional roads. While highway travel accounts for only 13% of the trip, you will encounter a mix of winding segments and manageable stretches. The longest uninterrupted portion of the journey occurs on Ocean Gateway, which spans 26.1 miles and offers the most consistent driving experience. Outside of that stretch, your route will rely heavily on Ridgely Road and Governor Ritchie Highway. Because the road character shifts frequently, you should be prepared for a drive that requires more active steering than a standard interstate commute.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 27 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Ocean Gateway is the longest continuous segment at about 26.1 miles.
How Hard Is This Drive?
