Maryland Seeks New Bids For KeyWit Infrastructure Project
Governor Moore directed the Maryland Transportation Authority to seek new bids for a transportation project. Maryland is seeking new builders for a bridge rebuild project after negotiations failed. The cost provided by Keywood was significantly higher than state estimates, reportedly nearly twice the initial amount. The Secretary did not disclose the exact figure, citing confidentiality. Officials stated the state should utilize existing designs developed by Kiowit to find a new contractor. There may be some overlap between the two builders during the transition period. The state intends to avoid a complete redesign of the project. Maryland transportation leaders announced that Keywood infrastructure will not remain on a current project. The move to walk away from the current contractor was described as a surprise by local reporting.
