Maryland Route 713 (MD 713) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs from an entrance to Fort George G. Meade north to MD 176 in Hanover. In addition to serving as an access point to the U.S. Army installation, MD 713 provides the primary access to the Arundel Mills regional shopping mall and the Live! Casino & Hotel. MD 713 was constructed as part of MD 175 in the late 1920s and received its present designation in the mid-1940s. The northern end of the highway was relocated in the mid-1990s for the construction of MD 100 and modified again when Arundel Mills was built a few years later. One of MD 713's auxiliary routes connects the mall and casino with MD 295 via the first diverging diamond interchange in Maryland. Route description MD 713 begins just north of the Rockenbach Road entrance to Fort Meade. The state highway heads north as a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane to its intersection with MD 175 (Annapolis Road) in the hamlet of Provinces. MD 713 heads north from MD 175 as two-lane undivided Ridge Road through residential subdivisions. At Stoney Run Drive, the state highway expands to a four-lane divided highway and enters a commercial area. MD 713 passes Ridge Chapel Road, part of the old alignment of MD 713, before reaching an intersection with Arundel Mills Boulevard, which heads southwest to an interchange with MD 295 (Baltimore–Washington Parkway), and Arundel Way, an entrance to Arundel Mills and the Live! Casino & Hotel. MD 713 turns north onto Arundel Mills Boulevard, a six-lane divided highway, toward an interchange with MD 100 (Paul T. Pitcher Memorial Highway). The state highway reaches its northern terminus just north of the MD 100 interchange at MD 176 (Dorsey Road). New Ridge Road continues straight as a county highway toward a collection of industrial and business parks in Hanover.
