Governor Moore was joined by Lieutenant Governor Aruna K. Miller, members of Maryland’s congressional delegation, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, and transportation officials for the announcement. The event underscored the coordinated effort across all levels of government to swiftly move forward with reconstruction. The Maryland Transportation Authority, in collaboration with design and engineering partners, has finalized the new bridge design and is set to complete pre-construction assessments by early 2025.

The bridge, a critical component of Maryland’s transportation network, served thousands of commuters and commercial vehicles daily. Thanks to federal funding secured by Maryland’s congressional delegation, the state is moving ahead with a cost-effective and efficient reconstruction plan. Officials emphasized that the new bridge would not only restore the lost connection but also serve as a symbol of resilience and progress. The project team is actively engaging with the public to incorporate community input into the final design.
In addition to rebuilding the bridge, Governor Moore announced new investments in the Port of Baltimore to strengthen its role as a major economic hub. The state will allocate $15 million to expand container capacity at Tradepoint Atlantic, a project expected to generate over $1 billion in private investment and create more than 8,000 new jobs. These efforts reflect Maryland’s broader commitment to infrastructure improvement and economic development in the wake of the bridge collapse.
