After a reset, the Maryland Transportation Authority has revised the procurement process for the main span of the Key Bridge, which is scheduled to begin this summer.
Estimated $177-million DB project request for proposals for enhanced pier protection system is set to be issued this winter, with environmental OK in fall 2026 and construction start as early as
summer 2032.
Officials have proposed a new alignment and some design tweaks for Baltimore’s new Francis Scott Key Bridge, looking to speed construction and reduce environmental impacts.
National Transportation Safety Board also recommends vulnerability assessments for 68 U.S. bridges one year after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed following a ship strike to one of its piers.
