BALTIMORE, MD (November 12, 2024) – The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) will host three Open Houses in December for the Chesapeake Bay Crossing Study: Tier 2 NEPA
(Tier 2 Study), as part of the federally-required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The December Open Houses mark a major milestone for the Tier 2 Study. The MDTA will share alternatives to address existing and future transportation issues at the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge.

At the Open Houses, the MDTA will display materials describing the agency’s proposed action and the proposed retained alternatives that will be evaluated in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The alternatives would remove the existing eastbound and westbound Bay Bridge spans and replace them with two new bridge spans. The new bridge spans would be constructed near the location of the existing bridge spans. Ongoing studies will determine the exact location of any new bridge.

All interested parties are invited to attend the December Open Houses to learn about the proposed alternatives and the potential environmental impacts. The following are the dates and times for each meeting:
