LONGTERM TRAVEL (VEHICLE & MARINE) ADVISORY: Beginning Wednesday, January 3, 2024, the @mMaryland State Highway Administration will have crews working 24 hours a day on the machinery room areas of the draw span, necessitating roadway, sidewalk, and marine channel closures. Weather permitting, this work should be completed by March 2, 2024.
While this work is taking place, the two eastbound lanes and the eastbound sidewalk of the bridge will be closed to create a safe work zone. Two-way traffic will be maintained using the westbound lanes of the bridge.
The marine channel will be blocked with construction barges and closed to all vessels for the installation of new structural portions of the bridge. Vessels that do not require the draw span to be opened may pass under adjacent spans. The State Highway Administration is coordinating this work with the U.S. Coast Guard and local officials to establish a work schedule that will minimize impacts to marine traffic.
