Temporary cashless tolling has been in place statewide since March 17 to protect drivers and toll collectors during the COVID-19 emergency.
The permanent, all-electronic tolling system at the Bay Bridge includes three highway-speed traffic lanes that will tie into the two existing lanes on the eastbound bridge and the one westbound contraflow (two-way) lane. Crews recently installed the new overhead tolling gantry across eastbound US 50 between the bridge and MD 8 and are completing software installation and testing.

Soon there will be mandatory chip implants to track you movements and send you bills.
Ok no more toll both folks....still have many lanes converging into two lanes onto the east bound bridge...with one lane (far left) going one way on the west side bridge on weekends. Still an engineering nightmare.
Just think...we as a national just allocated/spent almost $3 TRILLION for a national virus with 90 days. Whereas the cost of a new bridge at a location further south in the Chesapeake Bay was what $xx Billion and lots of NIMBY responses.
Wow.
I'm sure they will do away with those extra lanes since they will no longer be needed. At least one would hope.
Come on 723. A world wide pandemic took place. There isn't time to worry about infrastructure when TRILLIONS can be spent and digging a deeper debt hole.
Get real!
(snicker snicker)
6:11 There won't be mass lanes converging down to two. Once the toll booths have been removed, there will be a total of three lanes going eastbound.
