New Chesapeake Bay Bridge spans-


The Maryland Transportation Authority Board Thursday approved plans (Alternative C Plan) for replacing the current Chesapeake Bay Bridge spans with two new four-lane spans and widening US 50/301 to eight lanes with four traveling in either direction. Agency and public comments will be received beginning early next year with the Federal Highway Administration determining a recommendation later.

It is very easy for the MTA to recommend and approve plans for two bridges, each carrying four lanes. The proof will be if it actually happens. Significantly, while MTA approves, it offers no viable way to pay for this project, and we all know that the State of Maryland is just overflowing with extra money these days.
