The
Chesapeake Bay Bridge (commonly known as the Bay Bridge) is a major
dual-span bridge in the U.S. state of Maryland; spanning the Chesapeake
Bay, it connects the state’s Eastern and Western Shore regions. At 4.3
miles (7 km) in length, the original span was the world’s longest
continuous over-water steel structure when it opened in 1952. The bridge
is officially named the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge after
William Preston Lane, Jr. who, as governor of Maryland, implemented its
construction.
