Answer
The Kelley Memorial Bridge is the main vehicle gateway from the mainland onto the south end of Ocean City. Weekend arrivals, Air Show crowds, Senior Week, and holidays create bottlenecks at the crossing and downtown grid. Check traffic conditions, leave earlier, or lodge midtown/uptown if you want fewer Inlet-area backups.
