MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY -- Line 14
Primary Construction Program
PROJECT: I-695 Francis Scott Key Bridge - Key Bridge Rebuild
DESCRIPTION: This project will replace the Francis Scott Key Bridge and approaches using a Progressive Design-Build procurement process. The project is expected to be funded from insurance and FHWA emergency relief proceeds. Regionally, the Key Bridge played a critical role in the transportation network, including the transport of goods to and from the Port of Baltimore, the nation’s largest port facility for specialized cargo and passenger facilities, and nearby distribution centers such as Tradepoint Atlantic at Sparrows Point. On 12/21/24, Congress approved the full federal funding of the Key Bridge Replacement Project’s eligible costs. The MDTA will use toll revenue to fund the up front costs of the Key Bridge reconstruction, with Federal reimbursement in the future.
PURPOSE & NEED SUMMARY STATEMENT: On March 26, 2024, a cargo container vessel struck a main pier of the Francis Scott Key Bridge while transiting out of the Baltimore Harbor. The impact caused the bridge to collapse into the Patapsco River within seconds of the allision. As a result, the I- 695 highway and ship channel became impassable. The loss of the Francis Scott Key Bridge significantly impacts travel in the Baltimore Metropolitan Region. The preliminary design phase is being delivered using an aggressive schedule, so construction can commence as soon as possible.

EXPLANATION: Replacing the Francis Scott Key Bridge will restore critically affected traffic patterns in the Baltimore Metropolitan Region. It is a critical link in the regional and interstate transportation network and was the primary interstate route for hazardous material loads traveling through Baltimore. The collapse has negatively impacted community mobility and connectivity by creating a major gap in the Baltimore transportation network for both local and regional traffic.
