Now through approximately March 20, the channel under the U.S. Rt. 50 Bridge (Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge over the Sinepuxent Bay) will remain closed to marine traffic, while Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) crews repair the mechanical interlock system of the draw span.
SHA officials advise that vessels that are able to pass under the flanking spans are permitted to do so.
The channel closure is part of the U.S. Rt. 50 Bridge rehabilitation project taking place this winter. For more information about the rehabilitation project, including dates the bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic and a list of detours, please visit the SHA’s Project Portal Page at: https://mdot-sha-us50-harry-kelley-mem-brg-repairs-wohkmbr-maryland.hub.arcgis.com/.
