TJ Bridge Last Night

Anybody know what happen other then a accident on the bridge. The bridge was shut down for about an hour and half from 9PM to 1045PM. Seen a Pick up smashed truck and they shut down the crew that was working on the bridge also.

I was looking for car hit car or truck hit crew or what ever really happened.

Also prayed everyone survived the accident!!!!

I was there, 2 vehicles behind the accident. It was a green S-10 type of pickup that literally ran into the back of a silver VW. The greater problem was that with the flagmen not knowing what to do, held the traffic from St.Mary's side and it backed up big time. I finally drove around the accident and continued into Calvert.

Billy Joe McCallister was dropping something off the bridge.

Not everyone appreciates your snarky comments.

Hating the SOMD Forum

So here we are again a little more then 6 weeks later from the last time. 9PM and they are painting the bridge or doing what ever again and directing traffic because they close one lane to get there equipment so they can work.
But again the bridge is shut done police lights a whirling aroung at the top of the bridge and the fire truck going back to solomons fire house and here I sit for an another hour waiting to cross the bridge.
Any body got any idea what happen this time. And should we have somebody else directing traffic??????????
