[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American Legion Bridge delay is all on Virginia. VA claims since techincally Marylands owns the Potomac river that Maryland should pay whole cost of bridge.

However, VA uses the bridge 50 percent. In NYC they have something called Port Authority that manages all the bridges from NYC to NJ and repairs rebuilding split 50/50 as obvious to all regardless of who owns water and up to what point the bridge or tunnel to and from NYC to NJ is used 50/50.

VA also suggested Maryland just hire private company and slap tolls on Bridge and widening on Maryland side. However, Wes Moore and Larry Hogan know a lot of nurses, cops, fireman, blue collar workers, trades people, clerical people and people who work at Mall and Retail cross bridge every day. They cant afford that and Maryland has high income taxes and gas taxes already so putting a toll on a road we already pay for out of taxes is crazy. I take the bridge 4-6 times a week to work and it is always just as crowded in both directions.[b] Thinking one state should pay for it 100 percent when both states equally use it is crazy.

A majority of the bridge use comes from Maryland drivers. It's outer loop traffic in the morning, and inner loop in the evening.

VA has car taxes; Maryland does not. [/quote]
