A replacement for Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed March 26 when it was struck by a massive container ship, could be completed and open by the Fall of 2028, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.
WMAR-TV reports the department has pegged the cost for the new bridge to be between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. MDOT said it will use federal funds, insurance payouts and other sources to pay for the new bridge and minimize costs to taxpayers.
