The Key Bridge connected thousands of Maryland commuters and commercial vehicles daily, serving a vital role in linking the state. To restore access, the MDTA, the progressive design-builder and the general engineering consultant partnered to finalize the new design and complete pre-construction assessments last month.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) unveiled the design for the new Francis Scott Key Bridge almost a year after it was hit by a cargo ship, causing it to collapse.
