Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild Phase 2

contract canceled

The project involves rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland. Phase 2 focuses on finalizing the new bridge's design, driving steel piles into the Patapsco River, and beginning construction of the roadway approaches and spans. The project experienced a major setback when the contract with Kiewit Infrastructure Co. was canceled due to cost proposals far exceeding state estimates, leading to rebidding for a new contractor. Project costs have surged from roughly $1.8 billion to more than $5.2 billion.
