How long is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge?

Last updated December 29, 2020 by ZagBot Comment

The dual-span Bay Bridge across Chesapeake Bay is 4.3 miles (or 7 kilometers) long from shore to shore, including causeways, with the eastbound bridge being the longest by a small margin.

The bridge connects Maryland’s Eastern Shore and Western Shore.

Officially named the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge, it opened as a single-span bridge 1952, and the second span, which now carries westbound traffic, opened in 1973.
