context_page_description: Maryland Route 254 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Cobb Island Road, the state highway runs 1.25 miles from Cobb Island north to MD 257 near Rock Point. MD 254 connects the mainland to Cobb Island, which was originally established as a summer resort in the early 1920s, at the southern end of Charles County. The state highway was constructed as Maryland Route 533 in the early 1930s. The state highway was rebuilt and renumbered as MD 254 in the 1950s.
context_section_description: MD 254 begins 0.03 miles (0.048 km) south of the intersection of Cobb Island Road and Neale Sound Drive on Cobb Island.  Cobb Island Road continues south as a county-maintained two-lane divided avenue to Potomac River Drive on the Potomac River side of the island.  North of Neale Sound Drive, MD 254 is a two-lane undivided road and leaves the island by crossing over Neale Sound on the Cobb Island Bridge.  The state highway passes between marinas and curves northwest to parallel the coast.  At Pine Grove Road, MD 254 veers north to its terminus at Rock Point Road. Rock Point Road heads southeast as a county highway toward Rock Point and northwest as MD 257 up Cobb Neck to U.S. Route 301 in Newburg.
