Answer
Maryland Route 90 is a mainland-to-island connector that crosses Assawoman Bay and lands on Coastal Highway around the midtown corridor—roughly 62nd Street—offering an alternate to the U.S. Route 50 Kelley bridge into downtown. Visitors staying uptown or midtown sometimes prefer it after stocking up in West Ocean City. It does not replace Coastal Highway for north–south moves once you are on the island.
