    The bridge was a main artery for the baltimore region. Not just because of the closing of the shipping channel but because many people would commute from dundalk and middle river to the bwi/DC region for work. Traffic used to be bad, but its a whole new level of unpredictable and round the clock terrible.

      I might be driving through D.C./Baltimore around Friday or Saturday. I could also bypass the region entirely with an alternate route through the Shenandoah Valley that is longer but has less traffic issues. Would that be your recommendation?

        yo the Shenandoah Valley is absolutely beautiful. A pleasure to drive through. The caverns you can go into are absolutely worth a visit!

        Luray Caverns is so worth the price the formations inside are just amazing

        Skyline Caverns is just as good. My favorite thing about the caverns is the cool stillness of the air underground.

        I’m assuming that means you can take 81 instead of 95. I’ll second that Shenandoah is a beautiful drive. There’s a part I look forward to every time I drive up there where you’re driving on the side of a mountain and have a view of the whole valley… maybe it’s on 77 right before it turns on to 81? Just watch out for deer

    Too bad the bridge didn’t collapse in 1995 while Art Modell was driving on it.

    Yes I’m an old person from Cleveland, why do you ask?
