Spring 2022 Bay Bridge Osprey Update

Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

With the ongoing work at the Bay Bridge that includes new replacement signing and lighting structures, the osprey nest platform was removed in early April for the safety of the workers and ospreys. It is important to note that the platform was removed in compliance with wildlife policies, as there were not eggs nor nestlings present, or even ospreys at the time of removal. At this time, there are plans to replace the osprey platform before the end of the year after the new signing and lighting structures have been erected.

In the interim, you may catch our feathered bridge commuters on our Bay Bridge traffic cameras from time to time.

Following unanimous approval from the Board of Public Works, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will begin construction to expand and modernize the MARC train storage facilities at the Martin Maintenance Yard in Baltimore County. Expanding storage capacity at the rail yard is a key component to delivering more frequent service that better serve existing, changing and new travel markets as outlined in the MARC Growth and Transformation Plan.

Hello

The project scope includes increased storage capacity for MARC Trains at the Martin Maintenance Yard (located near Martin State Airport), new tracks with catenary electrification, crossover tracks, a new inspection pit, and equipment that includes water hydrants, air piping extensions and light fixtures to support train car maintenance. The $35 million investment in improvements and increased capacity for the Martin Maintenance Yard is set to begin later this fall, with completion slated for summer 2027. It is supported by a discretionary grant from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program.
