There is a new Exit 9 on US 15-340 between Mt Zion Rd and I-70:

It looks like it opened in May of last year.  I remembered seeing it when driving through there a couple times last year.

I use this exit occasionally when I'm trying to get from 15 north / 340 east to MD-351 south at high traffic hours. The left turn off Exit 11 has only a stop sign, so lefts in the late afternoon are basically impossible; taking exit 9 and going through the subdivision to turn right on MD-180 (which turns into 351) takes far less time.

What I do wonder is if Maryland is ever going to figure out what they're doing with numbering the Mt Zion Rd exit. If tMDDOT wanted to use mileage-based exits based on US 15 mileage they screwed up already, as Exit 9 is at milepost 10.1 and exit 10 at milepost 11.1 ... or are these exit numbers really an attempt to be sequential with respect to US-340, in which case continuing the numbering onto 15 north makes no sense.
