Bay Bridge Traffic 10-20-19

I mentioned in a comment this morning about how my friends are experiencing incredible traffic issues as they live in Virginia  and have to go over the Bay Bridge. What would normally take 3 hours to get home from Ocean City is now taking them over 7 hours because of Bridge construction.  The image above goes as follows. They left OC at 11:30 today. The picture above was taken at 2 pm. At this very moment they are still NOT at the Bridge. I thought their trip today would be a lot quicker but this is ridiculous.

Another example of to many people allowed on the Eastern Shore. There should be a lottery with a maximum number allowed to cross the BB a day or even tags on even number days and odd number tags on odd days. This excludes business trucks. They do it at Assateague. Politians only look at the money and not common sense measures for safety of the Public.

Tell John jackass Jacobs to stay in Virginia. I hear he still calls the City to give his worthless 2 cents during weather situations. NOW THATS RICH.

Raise the price of the toll. Make em pay big time. Easy peasy

It's easy to make comments like above. But there are people like myself and friends who get treatment for cancer, and other illnesses that frankly they have no idea what to do here at this Hospital. We need to get to Baltimore. It's a matter of life and death for alot of people. Hogan made a huge mistake doing this. It's needs a resolution.
Open the bridge back up till a better way is found. People are going to die in these backups.
It's costing people that need to go to Baltimore a fortune.

They should leave OC earlier if they don’t want to be stuck in traffic.

What about construction just during the evening and just monday thru Thursday night

How about going around the Bay if it's that important to get to Baltimore?

The lane would remain closed no matter. You can't set up and take down everyday on something like this.

If they leave earlier they will get to the bridge earlier, but won’t it still take just as long?

Was that a trick comment?

7:58, can you just leave earlier? This is not a surprise, you need to adjust your schedule accordingly.

maybe they should just ignore the maintenance until the span falls into the bay? some of you folks are idiots! waive the fee for those needing medical, commuters, trucks, etc, for the rest raise the toll $100 see how badly they want to come to oc? that's what this is about!
2 years? gonna be a fun ride!

You can go up through Delaware and down through Cecil Co. yes it is about 45-60 minutes longer but at least you will know how long it is going to be instead of guess at the bridge

The Bay Bridge is not the only way to get over there.....

Should have taken a plane. Probably cheaper than the time and expense of driving a car.

Why does the ES have better doctors and hospitals - why Baltimore?

They are not working on the OC crowd's side of the bridge. They are working on the side that the Eastern shore uses to get over there. Duh. Don't you read well?
