Francis Scott Key Bridge Reconstruction

under construction

The Francis Scott Key Bridge is being rebuilt after its collapse two years ago due to a container ship striking one of its support pillars. The project has progressed rapidly with demolition completed and construction of piers and pylons underway. The design phase has reached 70% completion within 14 months, which is faster than typical projects. A second crane will arrive in April to assist with the main pylon construction. The project cost has increased from an initial estimate of $1.9 billion to between $4.3 and $5.2 billion, with the reopening date pushed back to 2030.
