Left lane to reopen for rush hour

September 2, 2008

The Eastbound span’s left lane will be reopened for evening rush hour this evening. Bridge work, including inspections and testing will continue overnight.

From the Maryland Transportation Authority:

“Motorists can expect a full closure of the eastbound span tonight after traffic volumes decrease — most likely after 9 or 10 p.m. — as inspections and testing of the span’s left parapet continue. Two-way traffic will operate on the westbound span during the closure.

Commuters will still have three westbound lanes available during the morning rush.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Call 1-877-BAYSPAN (1-877-229-7726) or visit baybridge.com for 24/7 Bay Bridge traffic conditions.”

As of 3 p.m. today, there was a slight backup right at the toll plaza, but traffic was moving steadily.
