Key Bridge Rebuild: Cost, Speed, and Reform | Charleston News
Description
Senator Shelley Moore Capito toured the Francis Scott Key Bridge reconstruction site in Baltimore, spotlighting the $4-5 billion federal-funded rebuild after the 2024 collapse that killed six workers. As chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, she demanded transparency and performance benchmarks to ensure accountability. Maryland Governor Wes Moore confirmed the cost and revealed the state’s move to split remaining work into four contracts, aiming for completion by end of 2030 — a tight deadline he admits is ambitious. Both Capito and House Transportation Chair Steve Womack are watching closely, seeing this project as a national blueprint for streamlining permitting and improving infrastructure efficiency.
