Bay Bridge Work Begins Today

A $19.5 million cleaning and painting project on the west span of the Bay Bridge begins Monday.

One lane of the westbound span will be closed from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Thursday.

In an un-related project to replace vertical suspension ropes, the eastbound span will be closed entirely, from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday. Two-way traffic will operate on the west span during those time periods. Closures on the two spans do not overlap.

The westbound project, labeled Phase I of a four-part preservation project scheduled through 2016 by Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA), includes complete removal of the existing paint and repainting steel girders on the western shore portion of the U.S. Route 50 west bridge, said Teri Moss, MdTA spokesman.

That's 7,800,000 tolls at $2.50.
Or 2,437,500 tolls at $8.00.
