Bay Bridge Run to Close Eastbound Span on November 9, 2025

Queen Anne's County, MD - The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is working with Anne Arundel and Queen Anne's counties to support the Bay Bridge Run on Sunday, November 9. The run will take place on the eastbound span of the bridge.

The eastbound Bay Bridge will be closed to traffic from approximately 12:01 a.m. to 2 p.m., weather permitting. During this time, the MDTA will implement two-way traffic operations on the westbound span. One lane will operate in each direction on the westbound span, with the center lane closed to traffic. The center lane may open intermittently to reduce westbound delays.

Additional closures and detours will be in effect on the Eastern Shore during the event. The off-ramp from eastbound US 50 to MD 8 will be closed. A detour will direct motorists to the next exit at Thompson Creek Road. From there, motorists will travel westbound on MD 835 to the signal at MD 8.

The on-ramp from MD 8 to westbound US 50 will also be closed. Traffic attempting to access westbound US 50 will be directed to MD 18 to the roundabout at Castle Marina Road and onto westbound US 50. Residents traveling west on US 50 should approach the highway from either Duke Street or Castle Marina Road.

Motorists using the Bay Bridge on November 9 should expect delays throughout the day. To avoid delays, motorists are encouraged to travel prior to 6 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
