No doubt this work will last a LONG time. No one seems to know what kind of access there will be during this time at this spot. The speed limit on the bridge has recently been lowered from 50mph to 20 mph. Shortly after the limit was lowered, signs went up saying that bicycles are banned from the sidewalk. However, the vast majority of cars do not pay any atention to th is new limit.
Some cyclists choose to ride on the sidewalks.
However, they are in miserable shape. My chosen method of crossing the bridge is to wait until I don't see any cars and then take the full lane. 76.6 Snyders Landing From MD 34 in Sharpsburg, at stoplight in center of town, turn North on N.
