The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is back in action after a two-hour closure caused by some seriously strong winds. If you were stuck waiting, you’re not alone—many drivers found themselves at an unexpected standstill as authorities decided to play it safe.
Mother Nature Had Other Plans
Early today, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) made the call to shut down the bridge when winds picked up to dangerous levels. If you’ve ever tried crossing the Bay Bridge when the wind is howling, you know it’s not exactly a joyride. Some drivers feel like they’re in an action movie, gripping the wheel for dear life—except there’s no stunt double to take over!
Safety First—Even If It’s Inconvenient
MDTA officials assured the public that the closure was necessary to prevent accidents.
