The Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which takes Route 50 across the Chesapeake Bay between the Kent Island and Annapolis areas, is officially named The William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge - but most locals refer to it simply as the "Bay Bridge." The Bridge is 4.2 miles long - one of the longest over water structures in the world. The Bay Bridge is actually two side by side bridges with two lanes of traffic on each span. The first bridge (eastbound span) opened in July of 1952 and the second bridge (westbound span) opened in June of 1973. The Bay Bridge is named after William Preston Lane, Jr., who was the Governor of Maryland when construction of the first span began.
