Bay Bridge Crossing the Chesapeake Bay

The Bay Bridge (William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge) crosses the Chesapeake Bay via 2 spans that are over 4 miles long. It is full of hefty metal compared to the newer Ravenel Bridge that I posted about after my trip to South Carolina. What a difference 40 years makes! 

I took pictures from the vantage point of Sandy Point State Park on the western side of the bridge and then as we drove across the bridge going to (east span) and coming back (west span) from Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. It was a misty and cool day on the eastward journey. The pictures from Sandy Point (the first three in the slide show), captured the mood of the day. There is still some morning color penetrating the moisture in the air. On the way back, the day was sunny.
