OCEAN CITY — The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will close the Harry W. Kelley Memorial Drawbridge (Route 50 Bridge) Friday night to conduct needed repairs to the structure.
Work will begin at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 6 and proceed until repairs are complete at approximately 8 a.m. Saturday. The closure is necessary because the crews will need to raise the drawbridge to conduct the work to make the repair.

That will put a dent in the MSP revenue collection operation on rt. 50 west bound. 2x the revenuers on rt 90 and 707/611.
They should used a flagman and close only 1 lane at a time.
4 lane bridge Bro.
What good is a Flagman if the bridge is raised ???????
9:42--
Isn't it a little early to be drinking? It's a drawbridge, it has to be closed off to work on it properly; you know, that whole opening & closing part? Better to work on it now than for it to be stuck open in the middle of the season.
9:42 AM - Um. Really? On an open drawbridge?
Naturally,This work has to done on a Friday in order to
impact the OC revenue stream. Monday thru Thursday is not
available for this kind of work. LOL
Why would they do this on a Friday night? Now all of west Ocean City will not head into Ocean City for a night out. Stupid decision.
Takes many minds to change the Route 50 lightbulb! Many many minds!
Can't we do it on a Major Holiday?
most the DUMMIES do that anyway
Don't ask WHY - Do as I - Search to find the answer. A small part the news was left out.
which said.... A small crack in a single steel beam was discovered during routine evaluation of the bridge, and the work is necessary to ensure reliability before the spring and summer season.
Who made this stupid move,?? A Anti business DEMOCRAT.
Y not a Sunday night ru stupid.
Good Screw them.
Why not Saturday 1 am to 11 am Sunday.
