Maryland Parkway is a major arterial stroad in the east–central part of the Las Vegas Valley. A portion of Maryland Parkway was designated State Route 606.
Route description
editMaryland Parkway begins at Sunridge Heights Parkway in southern Las Vegas. It heads northwest to intersect Saint Rose Parkway (SR 146) before curving back northeast. At Cactus Avenue, Maryland Parkway heads due north to intersect Silverado Ranch Boulevard, Pebble Road, and Wigwam Avenue. At Windmill Lane, Maryland Parkway is concurrent with Paradise Road until Woodwinds Way, while crossing over the Duck Creek. This portion is known as the Paradise–Maryland Interconnect. (North of Woodwinds Way, the road continues as Paradise Road.)
There are three residential streets labeled as Maryland Parkway that are disconnected from the major two sections of the route. From south to north, they are located between Ginger Way and Robindale Road, Sur Este Avenue and Eldorado Lane, and Princess Katy Avenue and King Richard Avenue. The last one of these is parallel to the main portion of Maryland Parkway.
The route resumes at Russell Road, just north of Harry Reid International Airport and south of the aforementioned residential street. The intersection of Maryland Parkway and Tropicana Avenue is the continuation of SR 593 (which continues eastward). Between Tropicana Avenue and Flamingo Road (SR 592), Maryland Parkway serves as the eastern boundary of the main UNLV campus. Flamingo Road was the southern terminus of former SR 606.[2] Farther north, Maryland Parkway intersects Desert Inn Road and Sahara Avenue, the northern terminus of former SR 606. At Franklin Avenue, the two roadways (British English: carriageway) diverge, forming an oval shape (with its major axis oriented north–south) surrounding the Huntridge Circle Park. They converge to meet a service road of the Huntridge retail area. North of Charleston Boulevard (former SR 159), Maryland Parkway slants northeast, in line with the rest of Downtown's grid.
At Clark Avenue, the northbound roadway (British English: carriageway) splits off, becoming known as Rue 13 (transl. Street 13) before joining with 13th Street. After intersecting Lewis Avenue, Maryland Parkway and 13th Street continue through Downtown as one-way roads. At Fremont Street, both South Maryland Parkway and South 13th Street change their directional prefixes to North Maryland Parkway and North 13th Street. At Stewart Avenue, 13th Street slants due north, as it and Maryland Parkway pass under I-11/U.S. 93/U.S. 95 with no access to the freeway. Under the freeway, Maryland Parkway curves back to heading due north. At Mesquite Avenue, 13th Street becomes Maryland Parkway northbound, ending its status as a one-way street.
Between Mesquite Avenue and Bonanza Road, Maryland Parkway slants slightly northwest. At about 732 North 11th Street,[3] Maryland Parkway curves and then heads due east. Maryland Parkway ends at a Y-intersection with Bruce Street.
History
editThe part of Maryland Parkway that goes through Downtown was previously known as 12th Street.[4] Parts of 12th Street still exist north of present-day Interstate 11. Most of the rest was renamed to Maryland Parkway.
Etymology
editMaryland Parkway was named after the U.S. state of Maryland.
Amenities
editMaryland Parkway provides access to the Cactus Detention Basin, numerous retail areas, some elementary schools, the airport, UNLV, Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, Huntridge Circle Park, Downtown, a branch of CSN, and Cashman Field.
Public transit
editRTC Routes 109 and 122 function on this road. Their names are "Maryland Parkway" and "South Maryland Parkway / West Henderson", respectively.[5] Additionally, the remainder of the road north of Clark Avenue is served by RTC Route 208, which primarily serves Washington Avenue. As of August 2025[update], the portion of Maryland Parkway between Carson Avenue and Russell Road (former SR 594) is under construction to add a new bus route to the RTC's bus route system. The project is called the "Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit Project"[6] and is expected to be completed in 2026.[7]
Major intersections
editThe entire route is in Clark County.
