The other bridge is called US Naval Academy Bridge because it ends near the academy. the latter bridge was built as a drawbridge in the late 1920s.

  3. Reason why to make a new bridge • The ecological survey will be constructed to justify a potential construction site for a new bridge on the Severn River to have less traffic and congestions. The Severn River bridges are causing more problems with bad traffic.

  4. New Location: will be connecting from one high way to another to have traffic travel easier

  5. Cost: 10 million dollarsThe time spent: 5 years

  7. Plants and animals around the Severn River • Shadbush flowers • Sassafras • Algae • Blue crabs • Wood ducks • Seaweed • Stripped bass

  8. Biotic Factors • Wood Ducks • Algae • Stripped Bass • Blue crabs • Swamp Mallards

  9. Abiotic Factors • The temperature change • PH Level may effect the organisms in shallow waters • Bridges • Traffic • Soil • Run off • Water
