Maryland highway officials say Route 50 remains closed in both directions near Queenstown because of a downed power line.
State Highway Administration spokesman David Buck told the Associated Press that the state highway was closed about 4 p.m. Saturday just east of the split with Route 301. Buck says crews had hoped to reopen it by 11 a.m.Sunday, but the roadway was still closed at midday.
The spokesman said he didn't know if the power line was brought down by the winter storm that passed through the area on Saturday.
Buck says the storm caused some trees to fall onto roadways statewide, but didn't cause any major travel issues and state roads were clear Sunday morning.
