From the 11/27/2009 issue of The Maryland Coast Dispatch …
“The Route 90 bridge opened on Tuesday, three weeks ahead of schedule and just in time for the holidays, prompting town officials to have a little bit extra to be ‘thankful’ for.
“In a little more than 40 days and 40 nights (41 to be exact), the State Highway Administration’s (SHA) two emergency contractors finished the replacement of a damaged 85-foot section of the Assawoman span of the 38-year-old Route 90 bridge, despite dodging a proverbial bullet during the recent “Friday the 13th storm.”
“Regardless, the SHA gave the green light for crews to remove the blaze orange blockade barrels from the on and off ramps to the bridge on Coastal Highway in Ocean City on Tuesday afternoon, and traffic flowed on and off of the bridge for the first time since it was closed on Oct. 15.”
