MTA be praised, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is open for business again! The repairs were completed more than a week ahead of schedule this morning, and the bridge’s full span is expected to be clear of orange cones and yellow vests by rush hour tonight.
There will be a few lane closures between 10p.m. and 5a.m. until Thursday night, but Maryland Transit Authority spokesperson Kelly Melhem said there should be no major lane closures in the foreseeable future. Melhem also said that any future repairs to the bridge’s barrier walls would occur at night.
Sounds like a celebration is in order–maybe dinner across the bridge? As always, check out What’s Up? for news, events and dining in Annapolis and the Eastern Shore.
