Key Bridge Rebuild on Track | Baltimore News

Governor Wes Moore is racing to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge, vowing it will be done on time, on budget, and with safety as the top priority—despite a $9 billion cost overrun that led to Kiewit’s exit. The project is now split into four contracts, with the main cable-stay span expected to cost $3–4 billion, and the goal remains reopening by 2030—slightly delayed from 2028. Congress is watching closely as federal funds pour in, demanding transparency and accountability. The new bridge will be longer, higher, and built to last a century, aiming to restore normalcy to Marylanders after the collapse disrupted commutes and businesses. While progress has been swift—channel clearance in just 11 weeks—some skeptics doubt the 2030 deadline, predicting 2033 as more realistic.
