[edit] Route description

The road starts as a four-lane road at Maryland Route 28 near Darnestown. It continues north through residential areas on Germantown and then interchanges at Exit 15 of Interstate 270 and then becomes a six-lane road that continues north to Maryland Route 355 in Germantown.

Points of interest along Route 118 include several shopping centers, Germantown Town Center (including, just off 118, the Germantown Library and the BlackRock Center for the Arts), the United States Department of Energy Germantown complex, South Germantown Recreational Park, and the Maryland Soccerplex. The location of the farm property to which Washington Senators' Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Walter Johnson retired is in the vicinity of the intersection of Route 118 and Wisteria Road; less than 500 feet southeast of that intersection is a small section of road named in his honor.
