[edit] Route description
Route 832 begins at an roundabout with Maryland Route 140 in Taneytown. The highway heads eastward, passing farms and houses and parallelling Route 140, which is just directly north. The highway, better known as Old Taneytown Road, begins to parallel Maryland Route 904, which begins just north of Route 140. Even after leaving Taneytown, the surroundings around Route 832 haven't changed. Soon afterwards, Maryland Route 84 terminates at Route 832.[2]
Route 832 enters Tyrone and becomes a small, local road before terminating at Route 140, which had paralleled its enitre length.[2]
[edit] History
The route was originally designated MD 32; it was bypassed by MD 97 (later designated MD 140) in the 1960s. MD 32 was eventually rolled back to terminate at MD 140 in Westminster, cutting off the remaining segment of the original route, which received the MD 832 designation.
