Status history
Look up any past day on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge — closures, advisories, and BaySpan recordings.
Morning fog and a 5.5-mile midday eastbound backup slowed Monday travel.
Commuters navigated heavy fog and reduced visibility until 6:00 a.m. though travel times remained normal during the advisory. Congestion peaked at 12:21 p.m. with a 5.5-mile eastbound delay extending to Exit 27 (Ritchie Highway), resulting in travel times of 25 minutes. Westbound traffic later experienced 1.8-mile backups near Shopping Center Road until clearing at 4:51 p.m. Late night roadwork at 9:51 p.m. closed the eastbound span, forcing two-way traffic onto the westbound bridge with one lane open in each direction.
