Closest Metro Station into DC if coming from Eastern Shore/Bay Bridge?

Closest Metro Station into DC if coming from Eastern Shore/Bay Bridge? - Young ethnic man in earbuds listening to music while waiting for transport at contemporary subway station

Trying to plan a trip to DC, but am not at all familiar with the metro (other than it is the best trandportation to use in D.C.). I'll be coming from the Eastern Shore (a.k.a. Fish and Farm Land, lol) and crossing the Bay Bridge, where should I go after I get off the bridge?

Thank you in advance!



Best Answer

If you cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge you will be going westbound down US 50. And the eastern end of the Orange line, the New Carrollton station, is just off of US 50, so it is probably the fastest station to get to by driving.
