MD 439 begins at an intersection with MD 45 (York Road) in Maryland Line a short distance south of the
Little Gunpowder Falls and Deer Creek. Shortly after crossing the Baltimore–Harford county line, the state highway reaches its eastern terminus at MD 23 (Norrisville Road) in Shawsville.[1][2]
History
Old York Road was an alternate, less-direct route for traffic between
Jacksonville, part of which is MD 562.[2] MD 439 was paved as a state highway in two segments between 1930 and 1933: from York Road east to Lentz Road, and from the Baltimore–Harford county line east to MD 23.[3][4] The state highway originally had an acute intersection with York Road north of the present terminal intersection. MD 439 was relocated when I-83 was completed from Parkton to the Pennsylvania state line in 1959.[5] The state highway remained in pieces until the intervening section of Old York Road was brought under state maintenance around 1981.[6]
