SHA TO DELAY US 50 KELLEY BRIDGE OPENING BY ONE HOUR FOR FIREWORKS

Bridge Extended Closure Allows Travelers to Safely Exit After Annual Fireworks Show

(July 2, 2014) – The State Highway Administration (SHA) will temporarily keep the eastbound and westbound lanes of the US 50 Harry W. Kelley drawbridge closed to boat traffic for an additional hour to accommodate the large number of motorists who are expected to be traveling out of the resort area after the annual fireworks display.

This Friday, July 4th, the US 50 drawbridge will not open for marine traffic from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. to accommodate the traffic that immediately follows the annual Ocean City fireworks show. Should inclement weather prevent the fireworks event from taking place as planned and it is postponed to the following evening, the drawbridge will not open from 10 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Saturday, July 5th.

The bridge will operate under its normal summer schedule during all other times. Plan ahead to reach travel destinations and events by using MD511 for travel time and “Reach the Beach” information. Visit www.md511.org and www.ocwalksmart.com to learn more about traveling safely by car, bike or on foot.

  1. Sorry, but the current state of obammy and the rest of his D.C. minions, the abuses of the police, our non-existent border control, etc., do not make me feel much like celebrating our "freedoms".

    But the rest of you have a grand weekend.
