context_page_description: Maryland Route 155 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Level Road, the state highway runs 9.06 miles from MD 22 in Churchville east to U.S. Route 40 and MD 7 in Havre de Grace. In conjunction with MD 22, MD 155 serves as the main highway linking Bel Air and Havre de Grace in eastern Harford County. The state highway also connects Havre de Grace with Interstate 95 and Susquehanna State Park. The first portion of MD 155 near Havre de Grace was built by 1910; the remainder of the highway east of Hopewell Village was completed in the mid-1920s. The Churchville–Hopewell Village portion of the state highway, originally designated MD 156, was built in the mid-1930s. MD 155 received its present designation over its western half in 1952 when MD 155 and MD 156 swapped paths.
context_section_description: MD 155 begins at an intersection with MD 22 (Churchville Road) in Churchville.  The state highway heads east as Level Road, a two-lane undivided road that passes by Church of the Holy Trinity and Churchville County Park and intersects Glenville Road, which heads northeast through the Finney Houses Historic District.  In Hopewell Village (also known as Level), MD 155 becomes a partially controlled access highway east to I-95.  The state highway parallels two sections of old alignment, McCommons Road to the south and Level Village Road to the north, and meets the southern end of MD 161 (Darlington Road) at a three-way stop.  East of the village, MD 155 is paralleled by Rider Lane to the south and intersects the east end of MD 156 (Aldino Road).  In the hamlet of Webster, the state highway meets the northern terminus of MD 462 (Paradise Road), Webster Road parallels the highway to the south, and the highway intersects Webster Lapidum Road, which heads northeast toward the Steppingstone Museum and the ruins of Lapidum, which are both contained within Susquehanna State Park.
  The route meets I-95 (John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway) at a diamond interchange, with a park and ride lot located in the northeast quadrant of the interchange. After the I-95 interchange, MD 155 passes the historic home Sion Hill and passes a truck check station that heralds the steep descent from the bluff above the Susquehanna River to the city of Havre de Grace.  During the descent, the state highway has four lanes: one lane eastbound, a center left-turn lane, and two lanes westbound.  The center turn lane disappears and a second lane appears eastbound as MD 155 enters the city limits, where its name changes to Superior Street.  Close to the bottom of the hill, the state highway passes under CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision and turns south onto Ohio Street.  Superior Street continues straight as MD 763 toward downtown Havre de Grace.  MD 155 heads south as a two-lane street for a short distance before reaching its eastern terminus at an intersection with US 40 (Pulaski Highway) and MD 7 (Otsego Street).  At this five-way intersection, MD 155 and MD 7 are perpendicular and US 40 cuts across from southwest to northeast, requiring a very sharp left turn to access eastbound US 40 to cross the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge over the Susquehanna River to Perryville.
  MD 155 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from the city limit of Havre de Grace to the highway's eastern terminus at US 40.
