American Legion Memorial Bridge — Attraction in Maryland

I haven't a clue why Google Maps deems it valuable to ask me to review a frickin bridge, but here goes. I hate this bridge. Hate. H - A - T - E . I don't have anything against Virginia; some of my favorite relatives live on the other side of the river. But anytime I come back from visiting them, I end up suffering backups to cross this bridge.

Coming home from work in rush hour, the signs on 495 will indicate an accident or lane closure or construction, that is causing a massive slowdown. GPS says the same. However 9/10 its this bridge and there is no accident, and no lane closure. It's like people lose their minds driving over it, slow down to a crawl, and once you get over it, immediately the traffic congestion decreases. I dont know what the explanation is but...
