Upcoming Meetings & Events - MDTA Chesapeake Bay Crossing Study

December 2024 Open Houses

This December, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) will host Open Houses for the Chesapeake Bay Crossing Study: Tier 2 NEPA (Tier 2 Study). These Open Houses mark a major milestone in the Tier 2 Study. The MDTA will share recommendations to address existing and future transportation issues at the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge and its approaches along U.S. 50/301, from Anne Arundel County on the Western Shore to Queen Anne’s County on the Eastern Shore, in Maryland.

These Open Houses will serve as scoping meetings to solicit input on the issues that will be evaluated in the Tier 2 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This process is being formally initiated with publication of a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register.The NOI contains important details about the study and is now available.

Review the Notice of Intent and Supporting Materials

Open House attendees will be able to:

learn about the seven retained alternatives and their expected environmental effects,
discuss the Tier 2 Study with the Study team, and
provide comments (the comment period will end at midnight on January 13, 2025).

Participate in the Open House Survey

There will be no formal presentation; however, the Study team will be available to answer questions during both the in-person and virtual Open Houses. The same information will be provided at each of the Open Houses.

If you are unable to access the survey or if you require special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or require language translation services (free of charge), please contact the agency’s Title VI Officer at MDTAeeo@MDTA.state.md.us or at 410-537-6720.

Your time and input are truly appreciated!
