The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is
an indispensable link in a network
of highways = built, under con-
struction and planned - which is
revolutionizing automotive travel
on the East Coast.
Within a very few years the mo-
torist will be able to travel on new
roads and super highways from
Richmond and Washington to
northern New York and New Eng
land.
Ties State Together
For Maryland the bridge is the
most important single element in a
Twentieth Century system of high
ways to bring every section of the
State closer together and to tie in
with the turnpikes and through
ways being built by neighboring
states.
Travel time to the vacation areas
of the Eastern Shore from Balti-
more and Washington - and New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylva-
MIA - will be sharply reduced and
this is expected to be the first inn
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1952-07-31

Jr., expanding the Acts of 1887 to
direct specifically that a Chesa-
peak.e Bay Bridge be built.
January, 1919: Construction be-
gins as the first earth is moved on
the site of the future western ap-
preach to the bridge.
August, 1919: The State has won
a court test by tunnel advocates
and the State Roads Commission is
ordered to proceed with the over
water work.
November, 1949: The first of the
floating equipment arrives. 1t is a
huge dredge which, on November
3, starts the threa-month job of
digging a new ferry channel -
5000 feet long, Is feet deep and
300 feet wide. The old channel
crossed the bridge line. About 49,
900 cubic yards of Bay bottom is
pumped up and used as fill for the
parking lots at Sandy Point State
Park.
March, 1850: Underwater work
started and first permanent piles
driven. --5... st-.
October, 1850: The bridge is one
third completed, with the biggest
underwater jobs - building the
main tower and anchor piers -
about finished.
January, 1851: The first topside
steel, a span 300 feet long, is float
I'd into place atop its piers. A
mammoth derrick is mounted on
top of it and it serves as the work
platform for building other spans.
October, 1851: The bridge is
three-fourths done - the east and
west suspension towers are in
place, the concrete roadway is be-
ing laid and bids have been award
ed for the final work, construction
of the administration building, toll
booths and other subsidiary con-
tracts.
May, 1852: The last superstruc-
ture element, 400-ton section, is
raised from the surface of the bay
into place at the east end of the
suspension span and the bay is
bridC.ed.
July, 1852: The final sections of
roadway are laid.
July 80, 1852: Three years and
seven months-and 100000 man
hours-after the first shovel of
earth was turned the Bay Bridge
is dedicated and opened and the
Chesapeake no longer is barrier
t-tween two sections of the Free
State of Maryland.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1952-07-31

portant effect of the bridge felt
on the Shore.
The highways from Baltimore to
Ocean City already are built - the
Richie Highway to the bridge and
Route so down the Shore.
PIG. Suburb
On the route to Washington, the
Severn River Bridge, the Annapolis
bypass and section of the Anna
polls Freeway are almost ready for
traffic and the completion of the
freeway will make it almost a
suburban run" from Prime e
Georges County to the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. .a
The Annapolis Freeway will con-
meet with Route 301, sections of
which are being rebuilt, for travel
to Richmond and the south via the
Potomac River Bridge.
Other Roads Planned
The other highways, one planned
and one started, are key links in
the system.
The highway already started is
the York Expressway, which will

History

ferry system. Using a 17-year-old
sideloading Steam excursion boat,
rechristened the "Gov. Emerson C.
Harrington" a private company
offers two round trips a day be-
tween Annapolis and Claiborne.
The trip is % miles one way and
takes two hours.
1927: Private interests, organ
lied in 1926, are given State and
Federal authorization to raise
funds and build a bridge between
Miller Island and Colchester. Mon
ey comes in slowly and the 1929
crash puts an end to the chances of
success.
1880: The Matapeake ferry ter
minal on the Eastern Shore is COM
pleted, cutting the water distance
across from Annapolis from % to
81 miles. However, some of the
Annapolis-Claiborne runs are con-
tinued. By this time the "Gov.
Albert C. Richie" and the "John
M. Dennis" both double-end ferry
boats, are in service. Efforts to
build a bridge from north of Balti-
more to the colchester area con-
tinue but are predicated on getting
Federal funds, which are not forth
coming.
1887: The Maryland General AS
sembly directs the State Roads
Commission to draw up a compre-
hensive plan for the construction
of bridges and tunnels and author
ICES the commission to issue reve-
nue. bonds payable solely from tolls
to cover the costs of construction.
The Susquehanna and Potomac
River bridges are completed under
the act but World War II post
pones start on the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. The year 1887, how
ever, is a landmark for these two
reasons:
1: The revenue bond method of
financing is adopted.
2: The site for the future bridge
shifts south from Bay Shore, Toll
chester to Sandy Point Matapeake
to limit hazards to navigation and
also to tie in with north-south and
east-wcst highways.
1871: The State Roads Commits
sion takes over the Chesapeake Bay
ferry system.
1913: The western terminal of
the ferry is moved from the narrow
streets of Annapolis to Sandy
Point.
1947: The Maryland General As
sembly passes legislation proposed
by Governor William Preston Lane,
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1952-07-31

be the route of choice from south
ern Pennsylvania to the Eastern
Shore.
The other is the highway to be
built from the east end of the
bridge across Queen Annes, Kent
and the southeast tip of Cecil coun-
ties to Warwick, on the Maryland
Delaware line.
This will tie in with Delaware's
DUPONT Highway which, in turn,
leads to the, recently opened Della
ware River Bridge and the New
Jersey Turnpike.
East Coast Superhighways
Superhighways a lr a. y run
north to New England from New
York City and that state is now at
work on the section of the New
York Throughway between Albany
and the New Jersey Turnpike.
In the not too distant future,
with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
providing one of the most vital
links, the motorist will be able to
drive the entire East Coast on
highways of the future"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1952-07-31

Completion of the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge ends an era in Mary
land the separation of Eastern
and Western Shores, the 40 years
of agitation for crossing 4 and
adds a vital link in the chain of
highways built or under construc-
ton along the East Coast.
Long a barrier between the two
sections of the State, the bay in
colonial times was the exact OPP
posite - its waters bound together
the scattered settlements in a day
when most travel was by boat.
Water Days
"The bay and it's estuaries," ac-
cording to one historian, sin fact
gave the tide-water Marylanders
facility of communication with one
another and with the outside world
not possessed by any other colony
on the continent"
But as the population grew it
spread inland. AS time passed,
highways and the railroads came to
dominate transportation. The

turers Association, impressed by
his arguments, allots 1000 for an
engineering survey of the POSSIBLE

$13,000,000 - and the project is
postponed.
