Description
An image of the Francis Scott Key Bridge at night with light reflections as seen from Ft. Armistead.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, also known as the Outer Harbor Bridge or simply the Key Bridge, is a continuous truss bridge spanning the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The main span of 1,200 feet (366 m) is the third longest span of any continuous truss in the world. It is also the longest bridge in the Baltimore area.
The bridge was opened in March 1977 and is named for the author of the Star Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key. The bridge is the outermost of three toll crossings of Baltimore's Harbor. Upon completion, the bridge structure and its approaches became the final links in Interstate 695 (the Baltimore Beltway). Despite the I-695 signage, the bridge is officially considered part of Maryland Route 695.
The span is 1,200 feet (366 m) long and carries an estimated 11.5 million vehicles annually. This bridge is a designated hazardous materials truck route, as HAZMATs are prohibited in the two tunnels.
In this version, I used a longer exposure to smooth out the water surface a little. I removed lines in the sky created by jets moving during the long exposure.

Perfect timing for this one, Brian. Nobody will be photographing that bridge for a while! You got a very nice long exposure too.

True Chris. I feel like it's basically my back yard. I'm only a couple of miles from it.

Thanks for the comment Chris. I had just daytime photos of the bridge just days before the collapse also. Not too artistic but for me it's always hard to resist the capture.
