Maryland Governor Wes Moore and the MDTA prepare to showcase the new Francis Scott Key Bridge design after its collapse disrupted local businesses and supply chains.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) unveiled the design for the new Francis Scott Key Bridge almost a year after it was hit by a cargo ship, causing it to collapse.

The Key Bridge connected thousands of Maryland commuters and commercial vehicles daily, serving a vital role in linking the state. To restore access, the MDTA, the progressive design-builder and the general engineering consultant partnered to finalize the new design and complete pre-construction assessments last month.
