Kent Narrows - Bridges

Bridges

Several bridges, both part of roads and the Queen Anne's Railroad, have crossed the Kent Narrows in the past. Currently, two road bridges cross the Kent Narrows.

  • The Kent Narrows Bridge is part of US 50/US 301 and was built during the early 1990s as part of upgrades to US 50/US 301 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
  • The Waterman's Memorial Bridge, formally known as the Old Kent Narrows Bridge Drawbridge, is part of Maryland Route 18 as well as the American Discovery Trail and serves local traffic, both automobiles and pedestrians. It once carried US 50 as the main bridge across the Kent Narrows until the newer bridge was built.

Famous quotes containing the word bridges:

    “And Reason kens he herits in
    A haunted house. Tenants unknown
    Assert their squalid lease of sin
    With earlier title than his own.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “... this single span,
    Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
    As all lives do, reaching that we may give
    The best of what we are and hold as true:
    Always it is by bridges that we live.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “to-morrow it seem
    Like the empty words of a dream
    Remembered on waking.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
