Clearly the Rt. 50 Bridge going in and out of Ocean City is still under construction and quite a few people are upset. You see, they weren't informed of this stage of construction. Everyone thought that once it was shut down, that would be it. NOPE! They are going to resurface the Bridge, (as shown above) and 50% of it will be closed for quite some time. Rt. 90 still may be your best bet during rush hour.

I live in West OC and travel the route 50 bridge everyday. I actually prefer this, since the bridge is now open, and I don't have to do the time and fuel wasting West OC/Ocean Pines/Route 90 loop.
IMHO, the bridge work was pretty painless and done quickly.
AS A BUSINESS OWNER IN WEST OC, I READ ARTICLES STATING THAT THE BRIDGE MAY STILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AFTER REOPENING, HOWEVER THE LANES WOULD BE LIMITED UNTIL COMPLETELY FINISHED. I BELIEVE I READ THIS IN A FEW OF THE LOCAL PAPERS (DISPATCH, WORCESTER COUNTY TIMES, OC TODAY).
Has been in the local papers for two weeks about resurficing the decks.
FYI
The resurfacing project on the two lanes of bridge is basically the same kind of resurfacing project that was done on the north span of the William Preston Lane Jr., Memorial Bridge, Bay bridge, a couple of years ago.
Milling off of the wearing surface and pouring of a high density light weight latex concrete.
