UPDATE (August 13, 2014) - The length of this project is being extended. Expect a closure on Thursday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. as well. Thank you for your patience.

 

(August 12, 2014) – The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) will close the right lane on eastbound US 50 (Ocean Gateway) prior to the Harry Kelley Bridge over the Sinepuxent Bay on Wednesday.  Crews will close the right lane from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., weather permitting.  Motorists may choose to use MD 90 as an alternate route.

The single lane closure is necessary for crews to make repairs and perform maintenance to the drawbridge, which will ensure proper operation of the bridge during openings and closings. 

 

SHA’s contractor for the $5,000 repairs and maintenance is Covington Machine and Welding of Annapolis.
