Accident on Bay Bridge Slows Eastbound Traffic

12:15 P.M. UPDATE: All eastbound and westbound lanes are open on Route 50 before exit 32, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation Web site. The eastbound shoulder is now closed. But traffic is still slowly ebbing along at Sandy Point.

12 P.M. UPDATE: Traffic cameras are showing that US 50 eastbound slows to a crawl right about when you reach Sandy Point. So if you're heading out now, be aware.
