Maryland Route 936
Maryland Route 936 (MD 936) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  Known for most of its length as Upper Georges Creek Road, the state highway runs  from Church Street in Midland north to U.S. Route 40 Alternate (US 40 Alternate) and MD 36 in Frostburg.  MD 936 is the old alignment of MD 36 between Midland and Frostburg in the upper Georges Creek Valley of western Allegany County.  The state highway was designated when MD 36 moved to a new alignment between the two communities in the early 1970s.

MD 936 veers to the northwest and enters the city of Frostburg at Green Street, where the highway becomes Grant Street.  The state highway veers back north as it ascends a hill through a densely populated residential area to its northern terminus at US 40 Alternate and MD 36 (Main Street).

History
MD 936 is the old alignment of MD 36 between Midland and Frostburg.  The highway was paved from Frostburg to Borden Shaft by 1910.  The highway from Borden Shaft to Midland was constructed as a state-aid road by 1915.  MD 936 was assigned to its present course shortly after MD 36 moved to its new alignment east of MD 936 from Midland to Frostburg in 1972.  MD 36 replaced the portion of MD 55 from Midland to Vale Summit.  A new highway was constructed for MD 36 from Vale Summit to the eastern end of Frostburg, including the interchange with I-68.  MD 936 originally included Broadway Street west from its current southern terminus in Midland.  Responsibility for that  portion of Broadway Street was returned to the town of Midland in 1999.
