The Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge is a prominent bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, connecting the downtown area to the mainland of Worcester County. It carries four lanes of U.S. Route 50 and features a drawbridge span near the Ocean City end. Named after former mayor Harry W. Kelley, the bridge is one of the four entrances to the resort town and serves as a bustling center of activity for fishermen, joggers, and cyclists.
Constructed in 1942, the current bridge replaced an earlier structure and has become a subject of discussion due to its age and structural issues. Plans are underway to construct a new drawbridge by 2035, with the existing bridge set to be transformed into a fishing pier. With its historical significance and vital role in connecting Ocean City to the mainland, the Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge remains an iconic landmark in the area.
