Saturday 8 October 2022 @ 11:50pm. Passed by a minivan on East Bound Bay Bridge. Two (2) way traffic East & West Bound @ this time. OUR BRIDGE POLICE busy elsewhere! Kudos to MARYLAND STATE POLICE!!! Stopped & Towed. I am Buying Depends! PS There IS NO SHOULDER for East or West Bound Driver ! Ever been in a HEAD ON COLLISION! Because some fool can not drive 4 1/2 (four and a half miles) @ Speed Limit!? Believe me! You will not look "good" laying on your back in a Pine Box!!! Am i asking too much of my fellow Drivers?! SLOW DOWN on BAY BRIDGES!!! ONLY 4 1/2 MILES LONG. That blinking sign IS YOUR SPEED!!! 65 in a 40mph! If Anything goes WRONG, DO YOU BELIEVE (?) YOU CAN STOP? I have seen Too Many Accidents & Jumpers! Anyone Driving above 40MPH with Wind WARNINGS or RESTRICTIONS... ARE YOU NUTS!!! THE FASTER YOU GO. THE MORE LIKELY you will lose Control. Yeah I know. You will pull over on "shoulder". Is this the one 182 FEET BELOW to WATER @ MIDSPAN? I guess your practicing "Fly Fishing"?!!! Really feel for the State of Maryland Employees who work here. This is a stressful, stressful job. I recently had the misfortune of having to go to the EZPASS @ Bay Bridge. My Buick had pictures of it (with EZPASS transponder in picture) to pay NOTD violations. Keeping in mind I just received in mail previous Friday. Today is Tuesday (Presidents Day Monday). Bill was $42 + $24 + $60 (civil penalties). Jeepers I just received Bill?!!! And I am LATE!!! OR IS EZPASS da Best Scam 👌!!! Clerk removed Civil Penalties. ONLY PAID $66 ONLY WISH I HAD A "CASH COW"!

Make sure to use Google Maps to find out if there are delays on the bridge.
For a regular axle car the Chesapeake bay bridge the toll is $4 to get to the Ocean City side from the Anne Arundel county side there is no toll for coming back through. For the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel the toll is $13 each way.
Googling shows Kent Island Express as a company you can contact for this service. It will vary depending on the type of vehicle.
$4 eastbound only. Westbound is free.
Not to my knowledge they are normally on top of repairs or maintenance
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel is a 23-mile fixed link crossing at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in the U.S. state of Virginia
A bird rest stop perhaps?
Honestly I don’t use the tolls I just walked
It's 4.3 miles long.
Not anymore, they are doing construction, sorry...
Anything that keeps traffic moving is a good thing
Where's the question?
Hum not sure how to help on that one
Yes
It took about 3 and a half years to build. 43 months if I'm not mistaken.
Check out www.maryland gov/ bay bridge
They have done this numerous times if a gust of wind hits the meter at 30mph then its there discretion what to do. Personally Just my reaction is they like playin with people. I always put the tunes on. Little lounder and enjoy the ride no stress..
I recommend you actually sail under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, it's the best way to see the architecture of the bridge itself and it's a heck of a lot quieter!
Don’t know but the bridge dosent do ez tags I don’t think I was just passing by
I have no idea because I went over with easy pass
Cost varies depending on payment method. Usually between $2.50-$4.00.
Yes
I believe the toll is 350 or $4 and that covers both ways there's only one toll on one side on the other side you do not pay.
Does cost anything
It may take a while they are behind
I believe $4
The southern bay bridge/ tunnel (near Norfolk Va.) Untilizes both bridges and tunnels. The lane Bridge near Annapolis, md is just bridges
No toll on Bay Bridge right now but soon you must have EZ Pass only
Yes east bound not on West bound tho

I believe Giant and Walmart are places to get your EZ Pass.
I really would not advise crossing in the rain. How ever there are places to park on either side of the bridge, and you can pay a professional driver to drive the bridge for you. Its like ten miles long , across the bay, so it messes with your vision. Also this weekend hurricane is coming up from the tropics, it could be slick, windy, and dangerous! Be safe!
Depends. It's not bay bridge water. It's the Chesapeake Bay. If you are talking about Sandy Point on western shore, drops down 30 feet .25 from jetty. If you're talking about Matapeake on Eastern shore, Kent Island, is same. We have a lot of Longshoremen and it too drops approximately 30 feet, about 30 feet from Shore. It sounds like you are unfamiliar with the area, DNR out there are no joke. Maybe consider going out down Romancoke off Kent island or Chester River in Grasonville. Once thru the wake, you'll travel east & it'll lead you out to the Kent Narrows.You can't go out from Narrows unless you pay for slip or trailer it under the Kent Narrows Bridge (rte 50) and launch out for free. Queen Anne's county have very strict laws & permits. The old Kent Narrow bridge is a drawbridge, under 50, once there go under the overpass and there is a boat launch next to the Marina. Outside of that, you're talking about cargo, and cruise ships leads to Port of Baltimore & that is the Atlantic Oc.
495 to 95 south sounds right you'll be in northern Virginia
That's a great question that I don't have the answer to. Maryland Public Television has a great documentary on the building of the bridge. I highly recommend.
$4?! With what service?! They told me $35???
There might be, depends on the axles
Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure 35mph or more.
The east span
Yes. I would start with Sandy Point State Park. It's north of the bridge on the Annapolis side. Google the park. It shows a picture of the bridge. I'm guessing that lighting for photography would be best in the morning this time of year. After noon the bridge will be back-lit by the sun.
Call 1-800-BAYSPAN for information and they will help you , okay .😀🇺🇸
5.00 coming east
4.3 miles
No, as long as someone else is driving it's a beauriful view. I do get nervous and have to concentrate if I'm driving . I end up tense after the drive.
I just went over it .would just be cautious
Suspension...the people posting below regarding tunnels are confusing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis, MD with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which is a trestle bridge with tunnels in VA.
I always go right through the toll is cheap enough
There are two bridges now. Originally only one that was opened in 1952, which had one lane in each direction for traffic. A second bridge was built to accommodate larger volumes if traffic which was opened in 1973.
It depends on how much time your willing to lose,,
The bridge closes when the wind reaches a certain speed at the peak height which should be around the middle of the span. I believe it's around 50 miles per hour but there will be signs everywhere saying whether or not it's closed
Yes.
