Hi   Melanie   As you mentioned   the  Chesapeake   Bay  Bridge /   Rt 50  used to hold a nesting pair  .  I think  I read a couple of years ago that the  DNR   trapped the female  to  move her  offsite  because  of  construction  and the safety of the workers .  She was quite agressive and would divebomb  the workers according  to the article .  I do  not know if  there still any  Peregines  left  there  or not .    While  I am here 
I thought I mention that while this is  not a bridge or over water  that  pair that  nested in downtown  Baltimore  on a building  for a number of years .   Also I  do not know if thats still the case  or not  maybe someone can comment  on that .

Hope this helps
