[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New bridge will probably be cable-stayed or suspension with 215 ft of clearance and a longer main span (i.e. towers/pylons w/fenders further from main shipping channel). New bridge will also likely be wider with 6 lanes.[/quote] What would be the point of having more clearance than the Bay Bridge?[/quote] Exactly. No matter how high they make it you can't get out to the ocean without getting under the bay bridge which is only 1 foot taller. [/quote] Time for MD to think big and plan for the future. Make Baltimore truly competitive by making the port accessible to Panamax ships. Raise the clearance of the new Key Bridge to 215 ft. And since the state is already planning a third span of the Bay Bridge, design a new wider span down there (8 lanes) with the same clearance of 215 ft — rendering the old bridges unnecessary and allowing for their removal. MD won’t get another chance like this for a few generations.[/quote]
