An initiative aimed at easing traffic congestion near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Queen Anne’s County is returning this summer. WBOC reports the Ramp Management Project, designed to keep traffic moving along westbound U.S. Route 50, will once again limit access to certain exit ramps. The goal is to discourage drivers from using local roads as shortcuts and instead keep them on Route 50 as they head toward the bridge.
The Maryland Department of Transportation says the effort is intended to benefit both beachgoers heading home and Kent Island residents by keeping them on Route 50.
