Road work could delay trips from Shore

 Tuesday and Wednesday  are normally days when the trip back from the beach across the Bay Bridge is hassle-free, but it may not be so this week.

The State Highway Administration will be closing one of the lanes on the flyover ramp on westbound U.S. 50 where  it meets U.S. 301 near  Queenstown. Crews will be patching the concrete on a section of the bridge deck  between 8 a.m. Tuesday and 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The agency said beachbound  traffic will not be affected. Commuters from the Eastern Shore to  Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington should get an early start Tuesday. Wednesday morning could be a particularly favorable day for telecommuting from Shore points east of Kent Narrows.
