The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is making significant progress on the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild project, recently hosting boat tours for state and local officials, community leaders, and the public to observe ongoing construction. These tours provided attendees with a close-up view of critical work, including the driving of permanent piles for the bridge foundations and the development of an overwater work platform known as a trestle.

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?
The rebuild aims to re-establish the crucial I-695 Baltimore Beltway connection, restoring a vital transportation link. The project is designed with the needs of local communities in mind, intending to enhance daily life, strengthen regional connections, and facilitate the movement of goods and people nationwide. The new, modern bridge is envisioned to serve Maryland residents for generations to come. Information regarding the project is available at KeyBridgeRebuild.com.
Work on the temporary trestle platforms is progressing on both sides of the river, with completion anticipated this fall. These trestles will serve as essential conduits, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of supplies, labor, and equipment to the pier sites throughout the construction period. Concurrently, crews are actively driving permanent piles at the two main pylon locations. These piles represent the foundational elements for the main span of the forthcoming cable-stayed bridge. The MDTA, which funds its operations and projects through customer tolls, emphasizes that all its services and projects are financed by the users of its facilities.
