Bay Bridge Informational Hearing Set

By whatsupevents

On Wednesday, September 3, the Queen Anne’s County Commissioners and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) will hold a public meeting in the Kent Island High School auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

Concerns about the closure of the Bay Bridge’s eastbound span’s right lane will be addressed.

From a Queen Anne’s County Chamber of Commerce press release:

“Commuters traveling home to the Eastern Shore during rush hour have been met with traffic back-ups as long as five miles since the closure began earlier this week…County emergency services personnel have been working with the MdTA and other state agencies to address concerns regarding transport of emergency vehicles across the Bay Bridge during the lane closure. Officials from the MdTA and the county Department of Emergency Services will be at the meeting to address concerns.”

Long traffic lines are making it extremely difficult to cross the bridge for commutes, beach weekends, or just to shop or attend an event.
