Hogan pressed forward with adding a third span of the Bay Bridge across the Chesapeake, announcing Friday he would commit the state to a costly, five-year study to draw up plans for the project.
With term-limited Hogan leaving office in January, the governor’s decision launches an expensive transportation project for his successor to continue or decide to abandon.
Some local leaders, Republicans like Hogan, joined the governor to cheerlead moving forward with the project, which is a top priority of some counties that flank the bridge. The new study will address that, too, recommending a solution for a mile north and south of the U.S. 50 highway along a 22-mile corridor from the Severn River Bridge in the west to the U.S. 50/301 in the east.The state does not have a plan to pay for design and construction of a new crossing, which is estimated by the state to cost between $5.4 billion and $8.9 billion in 2020 dollars.
