Maryland Awards $73M Contract to Rebuild Key Bridge After Collapse

The new bridge, set for completion in 2028, will feature enhanced pier protection and increased height.

Kiewit Infrastructure secured the contract for the first phase of the $1.7 billion project.
The original bridge collapsed in March after a container ship crashed into it, killing six workers.
The project will proceed in two phases, with initial design work and demolition of remaining structures.
The new bridge will be taller and longer to accommodate larger ships entering Baltimore's harbor.
Federal and state authorities are negotiating funding, with ongoing litigation over liability.
