Gren Whitman says
“Another Chesapeake Bay Bridge”?
The three remaining alternative routes being proposed by the State of Maryland include only one to Kent County (crossing the bay to Eastern Neck, then crossing the Chester River to Queen Anne’s County).
Is that the third bridge to be discussed at the Dems’ meeting?
If that’s the case, the discussion should be very short, if at all, and a waste of time at that.
Why? Because Governor Hogan has announced that the ONLY crossing that makes sense to him is a third bridge from Sandy Point to Kent Island, presumably parallel to the present two.
