How does this bridge being down affect evacuation routes for Baltimore/DC?
Is it a major thruway for DC metro traffic?
Even though the census considers the area the Baltimore-Washington Corridor, it is not part of the major north-south corridor known as I-95. In theory, you could take 695 to go around Baltimore, but it's usually just worth enduring I-95 through Baltimore vs the extra drive around the city.
I 100% believe the attack was intentional and symbolic. Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem. One of my nightmares about the current war is tens if not hundreds of planes falling out of the air all at the same time.
Reason 12.1b why I won't get on a plane anytime soon. I totally agree that it was intentional and symbolic as well. Right in the line of sight of Fort McHenry: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fort+mchenry&ia=web&iaxm=places
Oh say can you see... that bridge? Guess not.
I would rather take the collapsed bridge.
Good luck with that ; ) I usually took the tunnel. So glad I'm out of the DMV-B.
I'm from KY thank God, but I have done a lot of trucking up there.
Agreed. Both the FSK Bridge (695) and the Harbor Tunnel (895) are routes to the south of the city to remain on 95 but they come with a toll. Up and around the beltway is free.
Could have been a lot worse had it happened at rush hour.
Found myself rooting for thos last two cars to get across.
Looks like a pretty major traffic route to me. Judge for yourself.

Car traffic is not the big concern. the port is shut down, and ships are stacking up like in the suez canal. But it will be down for several months.
Both types of traffic are a concern. Apparently that bridge part of a major land shipping route for materials that could not go through the nearby tunnel.
Our grandparents would already have it half cleaned away and pouring concrete. Then someone would tell them it couldn’t be done, then they would really kick it in to gear.
