A waterway is essentially an existing right-of-way. It’s simple enough to just view the Jones Falls and think “oh, we don’t even have to tear anything down and it connects exactly where we need”
Also remember that the 50s highway planning ethos was about defense (both in alignment and design) and the suburbs.

^This. You could easily line the bridge with gun emplacements or artillery and fuck up anything coming up the Chesapeake.
