A moonlight view of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, looking eastward, is shown in this
July 1953 photo. When it first opened to traffic on July 30, 1952, what's popularly
known today as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was the third-longest in the world. Over
50 years, the architectural marvel accelerated trade, opened new markets to farmers
and brought Ocean City beaches hours closer to tourists, single-handedly altering
commerce in the Free State. (AP Photo/Maryland State Archives, Marion E. Warren)
