Maryland Public Television's - "The Chesapeake Bay Bridge: Spanning the Bay"
It was the largest public works project in the state's history and, at the time, the world's longest overwater structure. It allowed Maryland's eastern and western shores to trade goods and services. Life before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was like another world, and its construction forever changed Maryland's culture. The 4½-mile stretch of steel that ties the two sides of Maryland together turned 60 in 2011, and Maryland Public Television celebrated with "The Chesapeake Bay Bridge: Spanning the Bay," a film documenting the structure's history, its physical majesty and its distinct personality.
Join us in the meeting rooms for a screening of this MPT documentary.
