Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Bay crossing structure
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is a major bridge spanning the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, connecting the state's western shore to the Eastern Shore peninsula.
Opened in 1952, with a parallel span added in 1973, the bridge stretches over four miles and is notorious for inducing anxiety in drivers unnerved by its length, height, and exposure to open water.
Services exist to drive nervous travelers across: I hired someone to take me over the Bay Bridge.
