US EditionNTSB to hold hearing on Key Bridge collapse that killed 6 workers
- On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board convenes a public board meeting in Washington, D.C., to vote on findings and safety recommendations for the March 26, 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
- Investigators say multiple electrical failures left the MV Dali without steerage before impact, including a loose cable causing two power outages and a backup generator that restored power too late.
- The collision brought the bridge down in less than a minute, killing six construction workers, with cleanup costs at least $100 million and shipping halted for 11 weeks.
- On Monday, the Maryland Transportation Authority updated its rebuild forecast to $4.3 billion to $5.2 billion and set a late 2030 open-to-traffic date while pursuing litigation against the ship owners.
- A two-mile cable-stayed design with 230-foot vertical clearance and two 12-foot lanes each direction is proposed to support freight and coal shipments at the Port of Baltimore.
