History
The first segment of MD 115 was a 18-foot-wide (5.5 m) macadam road built from MD 124 to Redland Road in 1928.[3][4] This segment was extended east to Rock Creek in 1929 and 1930. In addition, a separate portion of MD 115 was constructed as a macadam road from MD 28 at Norbeck west to Emory Lane near the North Branch of Rock Creek.[3][5] The eastern and western segments were unified between 1931 and 1933.[6][7] MD 28 was relocated and expanded to a divided highway at Norbeck in 1983; however, MD 115's eastern terminus remained old MD 28.[8] MD 115 was expanded to a four-lane divided highway at its western terminus in 1991 and at the intersection with Shady Grove Road and Airpark Road by 1999.[9][10] The highway's overpass of MD 200 and the connecting emergency ramps were completed in 2010.[11]
