'''Randolph Road''' is a [county highway](/source/county_highway) in the U.S. state of [Maryland](/source/Maryland). The highway is the major component of a mostly four- to six-lane {{convert|16.8|mi|km|adj=on}} highway spanning southern [Montgomery County](/source/Montgomery_County%2C_Maryland) and northwestern [Prince George's County](/source/Prince_George's_County%2C_Maryland) that also includes '''Montrose Road''', '''Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway''' (née Montrose Parkway), and '''Cherry Hill Road''', and forms an important link between eastern Montgomery County and [Rockville](/source/Rockville%2C_Maryland). Montrose Road begins at [Maryland Route 189](/source/Maryland_Route_189) (MD 189) in [Potomac](/source/Potomac%2C_Maryland). The highway heads east through a junction with [Interstate 270](/source/Interstate_270_(Maryland)) (I-270) before the main course continues as Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway in [Rockville, Maryland](/source/Rockville%2C_Maryland). Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway continues through a junction with [MD 355](/source/Maryland_Route_355), east of which the highway becomes Randolph Road. Randolph Road intersects [MD 586](/source/Maryland_Route_586) and [MD 185](/source/Maryland_Route_185) in [Wheaton](/source/Wheaton%2C_Maryland), [MD 97](/source/Maryland_Route_97) in [Glenmont](/source/Glenmont%2C_Maryland), and [MD 650](/source/Maryland_Route_650) in [Colesville](/source/Colesville%2C_Maryland). The highway continues southeast toward [Fairland](/source/Fairland%2C_Maryland), where it meets [U.S. Route 29](/source/U.S._Route_29_in_Maryland) (US 29). The highway continues from US 29 as Cherry Hill Road through an intersection with [MD 212](/source/Maryland_Route_212) in [Calverton](/source/Calverton%2C_Maryland) before reaching its eastern end at [US 1](/source/U.S._Route_1_in_Maryland) in [College Park](/source/College_Park%2C_Maryland).

A significant portion of Montrose Road, Randolph Road, and Cherry Hill Road existed along or near their present alignments by the early 20th century. The major exceptions were Montrose Road west of I-270 and Randolph Road from Rockville to Glenmont. Much of the county highways were improved as modern roads by the mid-1940s. Randolph Road from Glenmont to Colesville was originally known as Glenmont Road and constructed as '''Maryland Route 183''' in the late 1910s. The Rockville &ndash;Glenmont stretch of Randolph Road was built as a four-lane divided highway in the 1950s and early 1960s. MD 183 was expanded to a divided highway in the mid-1970s then transferred to county control in the early 1980s. Montrose Road was reconstructed as a temporary connecting route associated with the construction of I-270 in the late 1950s; the highway was extended to Potomac in the late 1980s. The first phase of Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway (prior to 2022 named Montrose Parkway) was constructed in the late 2000s; the parkway will be extended east to MD 586 in the future.

Montrose Road begins at an intersection with MD 189 (Falls Road) in Potomac. The highway heads east as a two-lane [controlled-access highway](/source/controlled-access_highway) through a forested corridor between two residential subdivisions. Those neighborhoods are accessed via the only intersection through the corridor with Whites Ford Way.  The corridor ends at Seven Locks Road, where Montrose Road expands to a four-lane divided highway. The highway has a partial interchange with the access road to a residential subdivision to the north before its [cloverleaf interchange](/source/cloverleaf_interchange) with I-270 (Eisenhower Memorial Highway). At Tower Oaks Boulevard, Montrose Road expands to six lanes, crosses [Cabin John Creek](/source/Cabin_John_Creek_(Potomac_River)), and passes between residential subdivisions between the city of Rockville to the north and unincorporated areas outside of Rockville to the south.<ref name="Google Maps Montrose Road"/> Montrose Road is state-maintained and designated MD 927 for {{convert|0.45|mi|km}} from the ramp from southbound I-270 to westbound Montrose Road east to the intersection with Tower Oaks Boulevard.<ref name="Maryland HLR"/>

Just west of Old Farm Creek, Montrose Road turns off east as a four-lane road with center turn lane while the through highway's name becomes Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway. Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway continues east with four lanes, crossing over Old Farm Creek. The highway intersects Jefferson Street before reaching an interchange with MD 355 (Rockville Pike). Access to southbound MD 355 is provided by following Hoya Street north to the interchange ramps, where the eastern end of Montrose Road can be accessed. Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway passes under MD 355 before intersecting ramps to and from northbound MD 355 adjacent to the [Montrose Schoolhouse](/source/Montrose_Schoolhouse), which is accessed from the adjacent shopping center via Chapman Avenue at the eastern end of Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway.<ref name="Google Maps Montrose Parkway"/> Montrose Road is state-maintained and designated MD 927A for its easternmost {{convert|0.29|mi|km}} from Hoya Street to Chapman Avenue.<ref name="Maryland HLR"/>

===Randolph Road===
Randolph Road begins at Chapman Avenue and heads east as a five-lane road with center turn lane. The highway has an at-grade crossing of [CSX](/source/CSX_Transportation)'s [Metropolitan Subdivision](/source/Metropolitan_Subdivision), which carries [MARC](/source/MARC_Train)'s [Brunswick Line](/source/Brunswick_Line), as the highway passes through a commercial area.  Randolph Road intersects Parklawn Drive before passing through a dense suburban residential area. The highway expands to three lanes eastbound at Gaynor Road, gains a median, and gains a third lane westbound immediately after crossing [Rock Creek](/source/Rock_Creek_(Potomac_River)). Randolph Road heads northeast as a six-lane divided highway into Wheaton, where the highway intersects MD 586 (Veirs Mill Road) and MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue) a short distance apart. The highway continues east through a densely populated suburban area, passing by [Wheaton High School](/source/Wheaton_High_School) and through Denley Park before meeting MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) in [Glenmont](/source/Glenmont%2C_Maryland).<ref name="Google Maps Randolph Road"/>

Randolph Road continues east, passing [John F. Kennedy High School](/source/John_F._Kennedy_High_School_(Montgomery_County%2C_Maryland)) and Glenallan Elementary School before reaching Kemp Mill Road. Kemp Mill Road heads south toward [Brookside Gardens](/source/Brookside_Gardens) and [Wheaton Regional Park](/source/Wheaton_Regional_Park). Randolph Road continues east across [Northwest Branch](/source/Northwest_Branch_Anacostia_River) and past the historic home [Milimar](/source/Milimar). The highway intersects MD 650 (New Hampshire Avenue) in Colesville. After intersecting Fairland Road, Randolph Road curves to the southeast and becomes a five-lane road with center turn lane.  The highway becomes four lanes with alternating median and undivided sections as it passes through a series of curves and crosses [Paint Branch](/source/Paint_Branch), then regains a center turn lane. Randolph Road expands to a divided highway just west of its intersection with Old Columbia Pike, then reaches its eastern terminus at a [single-point urban interchange](/source/single-point_urban_interchange) with US 29 (Columbia Pike) in Fairland.<ref name="Google Maps Randolph Road"/> The highway is state-maintained and designated MD 929A for {{convert|0.31|mi|km}} from west of Old Columbia Pike&mdash;which is itself designated MD 929C for a short distance on either side of the intersection&mdash;east to the bridge over US 29.<ref name="Maryland HLR"/>

===Cherry Hill Road===
Cherry Hill Road begins where Randolph Road ends at the US 29 interchange in Fairland. The highway is state-maintained and designated MD 929B for {{convert|0.25|mi|km}} from the bridge over US 29 to east of Prosperity Drive, which is itself designated MD 929D for a short distance south of Cherry Hill Road.<ref name="Maryland HLR"/> Cherry Hill Road transitions from a four-lane divided highway to a four-lane undivided highway as it curves to the southeast through Calverton, where the highway is lined with commercial properties to the south and apartment complexes to the north. The highway passes along the eastern edge of the White Oak [Food and Drug Administration](/source/Food_and_Drug_Administration) campus, then enters Prince George's County shortly before reaching an intersection with MD 212 (Powder Mill Road). Cherry Hill Road is four lanes with a center turn lane from the county line to just east of its bridge across I-95, then reduces to two lanes. The highway briefly passes through the [United States Department of Agriculture](/source/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture)'s [Beltsville Agricultural Research Center](/source/Beltsville_Agricultural_Research_Center) before crossing over the Capital Beltway, which carries both I-95 and I-495, just east of the junction of the two Interstates. Cherry Hill Road crosses Little Paint Branch and passes by the Cherry Hill Park Campground, then passes a shopping center before reaching its eastern terminus at US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in College Park.<ref name="Google Maps Cherry Hill Road"/>

Most of the county highways along the Montrose&ndash;Randolph&ndash;Cherry Hill corridor already existed by the early 20th century.<ref name="1910 map"/> Their courses remained mostly unchanged through the mid-1940s. Montrose Road began at Seven Locks Road and, after a tight curve south and back north to cross Cabin John Creek, followed the present course of Montrose Road to the junction of the old and new Rockville&ndash;[Georgetown](/source/Georgetown_(Washington%2C_D.C.)) roads at Montrose.<ref name="USGS Rockville 1944"/> In 1910, Montrose Road ended at the [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/source/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad) (now CSX) crossing at Randolph.<ref name="1910 map"/> By 1945, the highway was extended along the Randolph Road alignment to just west of Rock Creek, where the road turned north along Gaynor Road to cross Rock Creek and end at MD 586.<ref name="USGS Kensington 1945"/> After a large gap from west of Rock Creek to Glenmont, the highway resumed along the present course of Randolph Road except for a deviation at Northwest Branch.<ref name="1910 map"/><ref name="USGS Kensington 1945"/> From Colesville, the highway headed east along the Beltsville Road. Near the Montgomery&ndash;Prince George's county line, the highway split southeast along Cherry Hill Road to US 1.<ref name="1910 map"/><ref name="USGS Beltsville 1945"/> The only major deviations were near their junction, Beltsville Road and Cherry Hill Road followed what is now Gracefield Road, and Cherry Hill Road met MD 212 at staggered intersections.<ref name="USGS Beltsville 1945"/>

Between 1916 and 1919, the highway between Glenmont and Colesville was improved as a [macadam road](/source/macadam_road) by Montgomery County with state aid; this road later became known as Glenmont Road and was designated MD 183.<ref name="1919 src report"/><ref name="1963 map"/> The road east from Colesville and part of the Beltsville road were reconstructed as gravel roads in 1934.<ref name="1934 src report"/> Montrose Road was paved from [US 240](/source/U.S._Route_240) (now MD 355) west to near Cabin John Creek by 1944.<ref name="USGS Rockville 1944"/> By that time, the road had been extended as a gravel road from the railroad to just west of Rock Creek, where the highway became dirt for its old crossing of Rock Creek on Gaynor Road.<ref name="USGS Kensington 1945"/> The highway was paved from US 29 (now MD 650) at Colesville to east of Fairland Road, then gravel to MD 196 (Old Columbia Pike). The pavement resumed there until the Beltsville&ndash;Cherry Hill split, from which Cherry Hill Road continued to US 1 as a gravel road.<ref name="USGS Beltsville 1945"/> Cherry Hill Road was moved to its present alignment, replacing Gracefield Road, in 1985.<ref name="1985 map"/> The staggered intersections at MD 212 were unified by 1999.<ref name="Maryland HLR 1999"/>

The first segments of four-lane divided Randolph Road were in place by 1951. These segments formed the main streets of their respective subdivisions from Dewey Road just east of Rock Creek to MD 586 and from Lindell Street to the MD 97&ndash;MD 183 intersection.<ref name="USGS Kensington 1951"/> Randolph Road's original two-lane bridge across Rock Creek was built in 1953.<ref name="NBI Rock Creek WB"/> By 1956, Randolph Road was built between Rockville and Glenmont except for a gap between Connecticut Avenue and Bushey Drive to the west halfway to MD 586.<ref name="USGS Kensington 1956"/> The gap in Randolph Road was filled by 1965.<ref name="USGS Kensington 1965"/> That same year, the bridge across Rock Creek was expanded to allow four lanes.<ref name="NBI Rock Creek EB"/> By 1968, the Randolph Road name was applied from MD 355 to US 29.<ref name="1968 map"/> MD 183 was expanded to a divided highway and Randolph Road was placed on its present course at Northwest Branch in 1976.<ref name="1977 map"/><ref name="NBI Northwest Branch"/> Randolph Road between Glenmont and Colesville was transferred from state to county maintenance in 1981.<ref name="1981 map"/>  Randolph Road and Cherry Hill Road's interchange with US 29 was constructed in 2004 and 2005.<ref name="Maryland HLR 2004"/><ref name="Maryland HLR 2005"/> MDSHA plans to construction an urban [diamond interchange](/source/diamond_interchange) at the intersection of Randolph Road and MD 97. Four lanes of Randolph Road will pass under MD 97 while flanking two-lane roadways intersect the state highway and several streets on either side of the interchange. Construction began in 2014 and concluded in 2019.<ref name="MDSHA MD 97 Randolph Road"/>

Montrose Road was straightened out at Cabin John Creek when its bridge across the new Washington National Pike (now I-270) was built in 1956.<ref name="1958 src report"/> The county highway temporarily served as US 240 between 1958 and 1960 while Washington National Pike was under construction from Montrose Road south to Rockville Pike.<ref name="1958 map"/><ref name="1960 map"/> Montrose Road's interchange with the freeway was originally a six-ramp [partial cloverleaf](/source/partial_cloverleaf).<ref name="USGS Rockville 1965"/> Between 1988 and 1991, in conjunction with the expansion of I-270 to 12 lanes, the junction was reconstructed as a full cloverleaf interchange plus ramps with Tower Oaks Boulevard.<ref name="1991 map"/> Montrose Road was extended west from Seven Locks Road to MD 189 in 1989.<ref name="1989 map"/> Montrose Parkway, since renamed Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway, was conceived as an expansion of MDSHA's plans to construct an interchange between MD 355 and Montrose Road and Randolph Road. In the original plans, which were to be implemented by MDSHA, the west side of the interchange would connect directly with Montrose Road at Hoya Street (now Towne Road). Randolph Road would head east from the interchange, cross Nebel Street and the railroad north of Randolph Road's existing grade crossing, and merge back into Randolph Road west of Parklawn Drive.<ref name="MDSHA MD 355 Phase 2"/>

The first phase of the creation of Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway included the reconstruction of Montrose Road from Tower Oaks Boulevard to west of Old Farm Creek and construction of Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway from the creek area to the MD 355 interchange. The Montrose Road reconstruction and Montrose Parkway (since renamed Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway) east to Jefferson Street were started in 2005 and finished in 2008. As the first segment opened, Montgomery County began to work on linking Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway and Randolph Road and MDSHA began constructing the highways' interchange at MD 355.<ref name="Washington Post Montrose Parkway West"/> The parkway segment between Jefferson Street and Hoya Street (now Towne Road) opened in 2009 and the MD 355 interchange opened in 2010.<ref name="Washington Post New Montrose Segment"/><ref name="Maryland HLR 2010"/> For the next phase of the project, MDSHA will construct Josiah Henson Memorial Parkway's bridge across the railroad and a single-point urban interchange at Parklawn Drive north of Randolph Road. From there, Montgomery County will extend the highway across Rock Creek to MD 586. It has not yet been decided whether the Randolph Road grade crossing will be closed or retained.<ref name="MDSHA MD 355 Phase 2"/>

In 2022, Montrose Parkway was renamed Josiah Henson Parkway, to honor a once-enslaved Methodist preacher whose autobiography inspired “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shaver |first1=Katherine |title=Montgomery renames Montrose Parkway to honor formerly enslaved abolitionist |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/02/25/montrose-parkway-josiah-henson/ |access-date=16 June 2023 |date=25 February 2022}}</ref>
