Summary
Maryland’s new transportation funding plan includes the Bay Bridge but skips Ocean City’s aging drawbridge, so the city won’t get state money for it this round. That leaves a key local crossing without a funding fix for now.

Impact analysis
Ocean City likely won’t see new state dollars for drawbridge repairs or replacement this round, leaving the city and possibly other partners to cover future costs or defer work.
Bay Bridge users and the broader state highway network get the funded upgrades, while Ocean City’s bridge funding is deferred.
Ocean City residents, visitors, and businesses that rely on the drawbridge could face continued deterioration, closures, or higher local costs.
