The next MDRA launch's Sunday (May 2) coincides with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Walk, when they close the one of the bridges over the Chesapeake Bridge to traffic & open it to pedestrians. The other bridge handles (poorly) vehicles in both directions & traffic & back-ups will be horrendous. "Motorists planning to travel the Bridge should do so before 5am or after
7:30pm" Several of us have emailed MDRA asking to reschedule the launch for a week or 2 later. Consider emailing MDRA for a reschedule because for the majority of us (& probably you), it'll be a traffic Hell. Thanks.
