4 Possible Bay Bridge Crossings in Calvert
'The Bay Bridge Crossing Study is progressing, and new maps showing 14 possible crossings have been published. Four of those possible crossings are in Calvert County, with another proposed in St. Mary's that would drastically affect our traffic. The four proposed in Calvert are in Chesapeake Beach, Plum Point, St. Leonard, and Cove Point. Click here to view the full set of maps, each of which shows different features such as land use, environmentally sensitive areas, etc. which will be taken into account.'>>>
