Looking for Another Bridge Over the Bay?

baybridge.tv

A study that has already cost $5 million is moving ahead to look at the feasibility of easing the traffic flow across the Chesapeake Bay including another bridge.

WBOC reports that the Maryland Transportation Authority says the location for such a span ranges from Harford County down to Somerset County.

There is also the possibility of expanding the existing bridge which would save some money.

Other options include tunnels and ferries.

The Maryland Transportation Authority hosted an online public meeting last night and says it wants the public to view the presentation and submit their comments.
