💨 Abstract

Maryland authorities are enhancing safety measures on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge following NTSB's criticism. The $160 million study, initiated last spring, aims to reduce collision risks for both spans of the bridge. Proposed changes include reduced ship speeds, one-way transits, improved traffic management, additional pier fenders, and concrete barriers. The Bay Bridge has been annually inspected for 30 years and deemed safe.
