Bay Bridge Protection Project 

The Bay Bridge Protection Design-Build Project was initiated for the implementation of an enhanced bridge protection system for the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge. While the bridge’s pier protection design and condition meet the requirements of the bridge’s federal permits, the project is designed based on current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (ASASHTO) code requirements to enhance pier protection. The MDTA developed a project scope for the installation of structures to provide protection to the main span piers of the Eastbound and Westbound Bay Bridges and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in February 2026 seeking the services of a qualified Design-Builder for a contract to provide complete design and construction of the marine-based installation of protection systems. The total project cost is estimated at $175 million, and construction is anticipated to start in Fall 2027 after the selection of the Design-Builder. Notice to proceed is anticipated in Spring 2027 which will be followed by additional geotechnical investigations, as needed, and the start of the design.

Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages individuals and organizations to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics and adopt more sustainable habits. The initiative raises awareness about the environmental impacts of plastic waste and highlights practical ways to reduce consumption, protect natural resources, and support a cleaner future.

Potomac Waterway

At MDOT, Plastic Free July aligns with the department’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Small changes in daily habits can collectively make a significant impact, helping to reduce waste and support ongoing steps to create a more sustainable transportation system and workplace.

Employees can support Plastic Free July by reducing their use of single-use plastics, choosing reusable alternatives, and properly recycling materials when possible. From bringing a reusable water bottle to using reusable shopping bags, every action contributes to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.
