History
MD 310 was paved east of St. Augustine Road as a state-aid road by 1915. The section west to US 213 was completed by 1939. Cayots Corner was a right-angle turn for US 213 where the federal highway originally intersected MD 310. That turn and a sharp turn at Town Point Road just to the west were bypassed when US 213 was moved to a new alignment to the north and west around 1956. MD 310 was then extended to its present western terminus.Junction list
