The Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge, located in Perryville, MD, is the oldest toll facility operated by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). Spanning the Susquehanna River on US 40, this 1.4-mile, four-lane bridge has been in operation since August 1940, providing a vital transportation link between Havre de Grace and Perryville in northeast Maryland.
Originally built to replace a succession of ferries and a narrow vehicle bridge, the Hatem Bridge has played a significant role in connecting Harford and Cecil Counties for over 80 years. With a vertical clearance of 89 feet and a traffic volume of 10.2 million vehicles in both directions, the bridge offers toll collection exclusively in the eastbound directions and is equipped with the convenient E-ZPass electronic-toll-collection system.
