NOTES
Hughesville Bypass connects Pax River Navy Base to DC
$54 million in federal funds and $108 million in state funds have been spent in recent years on
transportation improvements between the Patuxent River Naval Air Base and DC. The Route 5
Bypass of Hughesville is an important part of those improvements.

Hughesville consists of only two primary roads, Route 5 and Route 231. Additional growth in the
vicinity runs the risk of overloading the road system and hindering the flow of traffic to and from
the Patuxent River Naval Air Base.
Total additional population:
42,701
