The state highway passes through farmland and becomes lined with residences as it approaches an intersection with MD 18 (Main Street) in Chester. MD 552 continues a short distance between shopping centers to its northern terminus at a right-in/right-out interchange with US 50/US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) at exit 39B.[1][2]
