Comments on: How safe is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? http://bridgeblues.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/how-safe-is-the-chesapeake-bay-bridge/ Continuing coverage of the bridge's construction and traffic woes Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:30:15 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: melanie http://bridgeblues.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/how-safe-is-the-chesapeake-bay-bridge/#comment-4 melanie Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:50:08 +0000 http://bridgeblues.wordpress.com/?p=8#comment-4 It's kind of a baffling situation for me. After reading so much about the bridge repairs, hearing about horrific delays and having had my own (2 hour delay on Thursday afternoon returning to my home in Easton from Annapolis), I was understandably concerned, (ok, freaking out) as my sister came into BWI at 6 pm Friday night! I packed a picnic, anticipating being stuck in the car for hours. Imagine my shock and glee as we sailed over the bridge at 7 pm with NO DELAY! I still don't understand it - did the back up clear due to the tolls being waived from 4-6 that afternoon? And where was the traffic Monday morning when we returned to BWI? Again, clear sailing all the way! And why were both lanes of the easrtbound span open Mpnday evening when I'm sure I read that one lane would be closed for 10 weeks? Hmmmmm - it's a mystery to me - all I can say is - wow, those guys work fast. It’s kind of a baffling situation for me.

Will I make it over to the other side? The current situation of closing part of the bridge is very troubling and inconvenient, to say the least Every time I cross the bridge I wonder and I worry.
