Worcester County Basics · Ocean City, Maryland

How does Worcester County fit into hurricane evacuation?

Answer

Evacuation routes from Ocean City use U.S. Route 50 west and Coastal Highway north into Delaware depending on storm track and Town orders—county mainland roads absorb traffic when the Kelley bridge restricts flow. Know both options before a watch is posted. Hotels and rentals should explain re-entry policies in writing.
