Maryland Bridge Rebuild Costs and Contracts | Annapolis News

Maryland’s Governor Wes Moore took key congressional figures on a boat tour to showcase progress on the Key Bridge rebuild—and remind Washington that federal funding is crucial. The original 1977 design won’t handle today’s massive cargo ships, so the state is overhauling the plan, splitting construction into four separate contracts (not yet awarded). Costs are skyrocketing—ranging from $5 billion to $9 billion—with lawmakers demanding transparency and accountability. While the governor insists on the $5 billion target, pressure mounts to ensure taxpayers aren’t left footing the bill. One rep called for a public dashboard to track spending and progress. The goal? A new bridge open by end of 2030—though that timeline hinges on when contracts are signed. This is a high-stakes infrastructure push with eyes on efficiency, oversight, and getting Maryland back on track.
