IBR vs Key Bridge: Why Maryland fired contractor over costs
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
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
