STEVENSVILLE, Md.- Inclement weather may prevent two-way operations (during which one lane of eastbound traffic is directed to the westbound span) at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Thursday, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.
Two-way is prohibited during bridge wind warnings/restrictions, fog/limited visibility or times of precipitation. Drivers may experience extensive eastbound delays during the afternoon rush-hour period.
MDTA officials said they will continue to monitor weather conditions and implement two-way operations if possible.
As the storm passes through the region, motorists should be prepared for wind warnings, restrictions and the potential for temporary traffic holds at MDTA bridges. Any decision to hold traffic at a toll facility would be based upon current weather at a given facility. The MDTA will make every effort to keep all of its facilities open as long as conditions are deemed safe to do so.
Motorists are advised to call 1-877-BAYSPAN (229-7726) for current traffic conditions.
