What You Need To Know About The Bay Bridge Run

The Bay Bridge Run will take place on Sunday, Nov. 9. Participants will run or walk the 6.2 miles from Northrop Grumman on the western shore, across the eastbound span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, along Pier One Road and up Route 8 to the finish line in Chesapeake Bay Business Park. The Bay Times and Record Observer reports the eastbound span of the Bay Bridge will be closed at 12 a.m. Sunday morning to prepare for the runners and is expected to reopen by 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon. During this time frame, the westbound span will be in two-way traffic operations, carrying both east and westbound traffic. The southbound lane of Route 8 will be open from Main Street to Thompson Creek Road, but the exit to westbound Route 50/Bay Bridge located on the Route 8 overpass will remain closed.
