Key Bridge Rebuild Costs May Double

WBAL Baltimore Baltimore 37d36d Impact 5

Congressman Andy Harris stated that the cost to rebuild the Key Bridge is approaching $10 billion. Harris told WBAL that this high cost is the reason the state cut ties with the contractor. He expressed a lack of confidence regarding the current situation. Senator Chris Van Hollen, Congressman Kweisi Mfume, and Congressman John Sarbanes joined Mayor Scott to announce federal funding for a separate matter earlier this afternoon. The rising cost estimates were noted by Olosheski. This development follows a recent ruling regarding the court. This estimate represents a increase from previous projections of $2 billion and $5 billion. The Maryland governor recently canceled a contract for the construction builder. The project is expected to reopen at a later date, according to Harris.
