Maryland Route 70 is a 2.32-mile state highway in Annapolis, Maryland.

[edit] Route description

The highway follows Rowe Boulevard into the city limits and the one-way pair of Rowe Boulevard and Bladen Street in downtown Annapolis. It provides a direct connection between the Maryland State House in downtown Annapolis and U.S. 50/U.S. 301, one of the main freeways through the Annapolis area.

Despite the presence of Interstate 70 in Maryland, the number has remained in use since its designation; other duplications between Interstate numbers and state route numbers also exist elsewhere in the state.
