The Maryland Transportation Authority held a virtual industry forum yesterday to discuss the process of rebuilding the bridge. The MDTA says rebuilding the Key Bridge and reconnecting the Baltimore Beltway as expeditiously and safely as possible remains a top priority. Officials say the anticipated contracting process is a significant opportunity for the consulting and construction community in Maryland to bring their skills to the table for this important project. It’s been projected that a new bridge will open in late 2028, at an estimated cost of nearly two-billion-dollars.
