Maryland launches internship program connecting college students to Key Bridge reconstruction project.

Maryland college students will have the chance to take part in one of the state’s most significant infrastructure projects through a new internship initiative announced by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) and the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). The Key Bridge Rebuild Internship Program will offer paid public sector experience to students from four universities, combining education with real-world participation in the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Maryland College Park, Morgan State University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Johns Hopkins University will work alongside engineers and public-sector professionals on the bridge reconstruction. The program is intended to develop collaboration, strengthen community involvement, and build professional networks for students pursuing careers in engineering, infrastructure, and related fields.

More than 80 students applied to the program, which is open to those studying civil and mechanical engineering, environmental science, computer science, information systems, business technology, and communications. Of those applicants, 10 students were chosen for the first session, which will begin in early June and run through late August. Interns will be employed as temporary state workers, initially focusing on project management with additional opportunities in construction, environmental oversight, and outreach.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
