STEVENSVILLE, Md. - Inclement weather is expected to arrive to the region on Friday and lasting throughout the weekend. With that in mind, the Maryland Transportation Authority said two-way operations (during which one lane of eastbound traffic is directed to the westbound span) will be prevented at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge during periods of inclement weather.

Two-way is prohibited during bridge wind warnings/restrictions, fog or times of precipitation. Drivers should expect eastbound delays during Friday afternoon's rush-hour period.

Drivers are reminded that headlights are essential with these weather conditions to increase visibility and help fellow drivers see your vehicle. Reduce normal travel speeds and allow additional braking distance.
