Heavy Bay Bridge traffic expected this weekend
The Maryland Transportation Authority is warning motorists to expect heavy traffic at the Bay Bridge this weekend as a result of events planned on the Delmarva peninsula.
The authority said it expects high traffic volumes between Thursday and Sunday because of a combination of SpringFest in Ocean City, NASCAR races in Dover, Del., and other activities. The agency said the best times to travel will be Thursday before 2 p.m., Friday before noon and after 10 p.m., Saturday before 7 a.m. and between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. and Sunday between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and after 10 p.m.
The authority said that if weather permits it would use two-way operations on the westbound bridge to alleviate congestion on the eastbound span.

Among the "other activities," there's the biggest little lacrosse game in America," drawing on average more than 2,000 spectators, Saturday afternoon when Washington College hosts Salisbury in the annual "War on the Shore." However, for the first time, the game between the Division III rivals will be broadcast live on Baltimore's ABC 2 (WMAR-TV) and online on ESPN3.com.
