There is a pair of peregrines at Conowingo Dam (Rt 1).  Not exactly a
bridge, but the dam does take Rt 1 across the Susquehanna.

Subject: Peregrine bridge nests?

I work for Chesapeake Bay Magazine (web and IT although I have written a
couple of articles) and one of our writers brought up a possible short
article on Peregrines nesting in bridges on the Bay & environs.

I know of the pair on the Severn River Bridge thanks to Dan Haas and
that there is another pair on the Rte 50 Bay Bridge.  Just for research
purposes, what other bridges does anyone know of in the immediate
Chesapeake/Potomac watershed that have peregrine nests?

If you consider ID'ing locations similar to publicizing an owl nest,
replying offlist is fine, too. We are not interested so much in
publishing a comprehensive list as much as getting an idea for how many
bridges out there have nests. Knowing which bridges keeps us from
counting a location twice.
