Bay Bridge lane to be open for Labor Day travelers
The right lane of the eastbound span of the Bay Bridge has reopened after repairs were completed to strengthen a parapet, the Maryland Transportation Authority announced late last night. As a result, Labor Day travelers will be able to use three westbound lanes and two eastbound lanes today. Starting tomorrow, the left lane of the eastbound span will be temporarily closed so contractors can continue inspection and testing of the parapet on that side. During the inspection, eastbound trucks wider than 12 feet will be prohibited from traveling the bridge; drivers will need to find alternate routes. Three westbound lanes will remain open during tomorrow's morning rush hour.

New bushel limits on female crabs begin today
Maryland's new bushel limits on the commercial harvest of female blue crabs take effect today. The restrictions are the result of an agreement by Maryland and Virginia to reduce the harvest of female crabs by 34 percent this season. Under the agreement, a total ban on the harvest of females will take effect Oct. 23. Officials with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources say they hope the restrictions will leave at least 20 million additional female crabs to spawn in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
