Francis Scott Key Bridge Replacement

under construction

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after a ship collision in March 2024, resulting in the death of six construction workers. The Maryland Transportation Authority and Maryland Governor Wes Moore unveiled a new cable-stayed bridge design in February 2025, with preconstruction underway. The project is expected to be completed by October 2028, with a revised completion date in late 2030 due to increased costs and engineering requirements. The new bridge will feature a longer main span and enhanced pier protection to prevent future ship strikes.
