		Scott Sheads, whose most recent book Fort McHenry, published last year by Nautical Aviation Publishing Company, is a best seller, theorizes that because of the bad weather and the distance that Key was from the fort during the bombardment, he did not see the flag as many accounts and paintings would have us believe.

		The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a high-arcing cantilever bridge opened in 1977 as the Beltway's final link, carries I-695 over the lower Baltimore Harbor and Patapsco River, and it provides an attractive option to motorists who wish to avoid downtown Baltimore.

		The toll bridge lies in the southeastern section of I-695, and although it is formally called the Outer Harbor Crossing, this stretch is still known as the Beltway, like the rest of I-695.

		A more remote possibility is that the lights and gate were placed when the bridge was initially constructed as a two-lane facility, and the lights were left in place after former Maryland 695 was widened from a two-lane highway into a four-lane freeway in the early 1980s.
		For traffic using the outer loop as a bypass of Baltimore (avoiding Interstate 95), this is the exit to continue south toward Washington and Richmond.
