Oldtown toll bridge links Maryland and West Virginia
The one lane wooden Oldtown toll bridge across the Potomac is privately owned by Frances Walters and her family. Three women collect fares from drivers and record license plates in a Maryland tollhouse. The bridge, built in 1937, charges 50 cents per car each way and serves about 330 cars daily, with special toll exemptions for officials and rescue workers.

Maryland Eyes Tiger Mosquitoes In Statewide Probe
Maryland disease control officials search for the Asian tiger mosquito amid concerns it can carry eastern equine encephalitis. The CDC asks testing in Maryland and four other states, but local trapping may be limited as the species is rare here. Experts warn of potential public health risk, with horses and poultry at higher threat and human cases historically rare in the state.
