SUNFEST BRINGS POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED WEEKEND TRAFFIC AT BAY BRIDGE

Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

Motorists advised to travel off-peak and call 1-877-BAYSPAN (229-7726) for current traffic conditions. 

Due to Sunfest in Ocean City, MD, motorists should expect higher than normal traffic volumes Thursday, September 30, through Sunday, October 3. Weather and traffic volumes permitting, the MDTA will implement two-way operations (when one lane of eastbound traffic travels on the westbound span) to help alleviate eastbound delays at the Bay Bridge. Note: Two-way operations may be limited based on westbound traffic volumes. Motorists MUST pay attention and adhere to overhead lane signals. As a reminder, two-way operations are prohibited during bridge wind warnings/restrictions, fog or times of precipitation.

The MDTA encourages motorists to travel off-peak. The best times to travel this weekend are:

  • Thursday and Friday – before 10 a.m. and after 10 p.m.
  • Saturday – before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
  • Sunday – before 10 a.m. and after 10 p.m.

For updates call 1-877-BAYSPAN (1-877-229-7726) or follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/TheMDTA.

Motorists should stay on US 50 on BOTH sides of the bridge to keep local roadways open for first responders and residents.



Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
