Getting across the Bay Bridge to Annapolis, Baltimore and D.C.
Kent Narrows is a car-dependent neighborhood off Highway 50, 19 miles from Annapolis, 46 miles from Baltimore and 47 miles from D.C. To get to any of these destinations, residents have to drive over the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bay Bridge, which, according to Stevens, intimidates some drivers due to its steeping height nearly 200 feet above water. “The Bay Bridge is one of the scariest bridges in America,” she says. “I personally know of people who absolutely refuse to drive the Bay Bridge. They will hire a service who picks you up on one end and drives your car across the bridge. People commute from here to Baltimore or D.C., and they get to work every Monday through Friday doing that.” Commuters can also take the MTA Commuter Bus from Kent Narrows over the Bay Bridge to get to Baltimore or D.C. The nearest medical center to Kent Narrows is the UM Shore Emergency Center at Queenstown, 6 miles east. The closest airport is Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, 39 miles northwest.
