Route description
MD 520 begins at a boat ramp at the southern end of Whites Neck adjacent to the mouth of Whites Neck Creek at St. Catherine Sound, an embayment of the Wicomico River. The 18 ft wide two-lane undivided state highway heads west then north through farmland. MD 520 veers northeast through a forested area before crossing Whites Neck Creek and reaching its northern terminus at MD 239 (Bushwood Wharf Road) near the community of Bushwood.

History
MD 520 was constructed as a gravel road in 1933. The state highway was widened and resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1956. MD 520 has changed very little since then.
