US EditionMaryland and Local Leaders Reflect 2 Years After Deadly Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse
The rebuild of the Francis Scott Key Bridge is 70% complete with foundation work underway, estimated to cost $4.3–$5.2 billion and reopen by late 2030, officials said.
- Maryland leaders gathered near the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse site on Thursday to mark the second anniversary, honoring the six construction workers who died in the tragedy.

- Using a $147-million Clean Ports grant, the MPA is replacing 213 fossil-fuel equipment pieces with electric alternatives, targeting about 35 percent emissions reduction by 2030.
