IBR vs Key Bridge: Why Maryland fired contractor over costs
Rep. John Ley exposes the stark contrast between Baltimore's Key Bridge replacement and the IBR project. Maryland's DOT Secretary fired contractors over cost concerns for a $5.2 billion, 2-mile bridge while the IBR seeks $15-18 billion for a half-mile span. The Key Bridge will be 70% designed in two years versus IBR's 30% after six years. With double the maritime clearance and triple the length, the Key Bridge costs one-third of the IBR proposal. Will Governors Ferguson and Kotek protect taxpayers from this boondoggle? https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-dot-secretary-and-maryland-governor-fire-key-bridge-contractor/ #IBR #KeyBridge #Transportation #BridgeReplacement #TaxpayerProtection #WashingtonState #Oregon #ClarkCounty #CostOverruns #GovernmentAccountability
