Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. in his opening remarks Wednesday at the General Assembly opening pledged to bring a new Dover Bridge to the Eastern Shore.
"This is not a war on rural Maryland," Miller reportedly said in his opening speech. "The senator from the Eastern Shore is going to get a new bridge, and I'm going to work to make that happen."
The news surprised and pleased state Sen. Richard Colburn, R-37-Mid-Shore.
"This is the most exciting, best opening day session I've ever had," Colburn said of his 26th opening day. "The Eastern Shore has picked up a most powerful ally with the support of President Mike Miller supporting a new Dover Bridge. I was shocked but graciously and pleasantly suprised."

I live near and use the Dover Bridge on a regular basis. I have driven over it and been on a boat below it and we definitely need a new bridge. Anybody that has seen it from below is sure to be terrified to drive over it for fear of falling through. I surely hope that the funding comes through and the new bridge is here soon.
Dover bridge has needed replacing for decades.
