Major Update on Key Bridge Rebuild: Costs Soar and Timeline Extended

The rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has faced significant challenges, with costs projected to top $5.2 billion, more than doubling initial estimates. State officials announced a substantial delay, with completion now expected in late 2030. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the fatal collapse that occurred following a cargo ship collision, with hearings scheduled to determine the probable cause. These developments have prompted Governor Wes Moore to address the ongoing efforts to restore this critical infrastructure.
