Commuters faced heavy Sunday volume, most notably at 6:17 p.m. when westbound traffic reached a 6.6-mile backup starting at Exit 43A (Jackson Creek Road). Midday eastbound delays also spanned 3.5 miles from Exit 29a, while a 5:08 p.m. crash near Exit 32 briefly closed the eastbound left lane. The night ended with strict wind restrictions as sustained speeds of 40-49 mph prohibited trailers and wind-vulnerable vehicles from crossing after 10:13 p.m.

Saturday travel saw heavy congestion in both directions, peaking between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM with 6.6-mile westbound backups starting at Exit 43A (Jackson Creek Road) and 5.5-mile eastbound delays reaching Exit 27 (Ritchie Highway). Earlier, westbound traffic faced a 4-mile queue at Exit 48 (South Piney Creek Road) due to bridge lane closures, while eastbound delays began at 10:00 AM near Exit 32. All lanes were cleared and traffic returned to normal speeds by 5:52 PM.

Commuters faced heavy afternoon delays with an 8-mile eastbound backup at Exit 23 and a 6.6-mile westbound delay at Exit 43a, following a transition from two-way traffic. Late-night heavy fog and wind warnings caused travel times to explode to over 150 minutes in both directions by 9:00 p.m. Visibility concerns triggered a 3-mile backup at Exit 29B and wind speeds of 30-39 mph remained a factor for high-profile vehicles throughout the day.

Eastbound travel was severely impacted starting at 11:49 a.m. when a disabled vehicle at Exit 27 (Ritchie Highway) closed the right lane, resulting in a six-mile backup stretching to the Severn River Bridge. Travel times peaked at 28 minutes during the 11:00 a.m. hour while the bridge maintained a three-lane eastbound and two-lane westbound configuration. Conditions cleared by mid-afternoon, but sustained wind speeds of 40-49 mph triggered restrictions at 9:12 p.m., prohibiting house trailers and empty box trailers until speeds dropped below 40 mph at 9:57 p.m.

The day began with the eastbound bridge closed for roadwork, forcing two-way traffic on the westbound span until 4:46 a.m. Westbound travel peaked at 23 minutes around 7:00 a.m. with a 1.5-mile backup stretching to Exit 38A (Duke Street). Evening delays saw eastbound travel times reach 21 minutes at 6:00 p.m., even as the bridge maintained a three-lane eastbound and two-lane westbound configuration.

Between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, travel times peaked at 24 minutes westbound and 20 minutes eastbound. A disabled vehicle at Exit 31 and a special event at Exit 39a forced lane closures that resulted in backups of 2.5 miles eastbound and 3.2 miles westbound. Outside of these midday delays and overnight roadwork closures on the eastbound span, traffic maintained normal speeds despite two-way configurations that restricted travel to a single lane in each direction.

Eastbound travel saw significant congestion at midday, peaking at 21 minutes around 4:00 PM with a 3-mile backup extending to Exit 29B (Cape St. Claire Road). Earlier, a right-lane closure for roadwork caused 2.5-mile delays from Exit 30 between 12:42 PM and 1:30 PM. Westbound traffic also faced a 1.5-mile backup at Exit 38a (Duke Street) during the 2:00 PM hour as crews closed the left lane to discontinue two-way operations.
