Key Bridge collapse

Transportation officials have estimated finishing construction and opening the bridge to traffic in the Fall of 2028.

A Baltimore propane distribution company is suing the owners of the cargo ship Dali for economic losses suffered from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

A newly introduced House bill would increase the Dali's obligation in the Key Bridge collapse nearly ten-fold.

About 40 people who gathered at a public library in Dundalk Thursday evening for a public hearing on a newly unveiled plan to demolish the remainder of the bridge — the first step of a multiyear plan to get drivers traversing the bridge once again.

The Baltimore Banner obtained a copy of the video on Tuesday from the Baltimore Police Department through a Maryland Public Information Act request.

The new cargo numbers from Georgia indicate that Brunswick is already extremely close. Port officials in Maryland reported that Baltimore handled 847,000 auto imports and exports in the 2023 calendar year.

Three dozen signs for the Key Bridge remain along Maryland highways. These are signs to nowhere, directing drivers to a landmark that no longer stands, and one they cannot reach. What to make of this incongruity?

The Federal Highway Administration has determined that Maryland won’t have to complete a lengthy environmental impact study, which could have slowed the yearslong rebuild even more.

With lost revenue because of the bridge collapse and uncertainty over whether Congress will pay the whole amount to rebuild it, the toll increase will take place a year earlier than planned, a spokesman said.

Despite the Port of Baltimore reopening last month after the Key Bridge collapse, the pace of food insecurity has surprised even the president of the Maryland Food Bank.

In an exclusive Wednesday interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas, Julio Cervantes said he saw family members disappear to his left and right into the water beneath them.

Maryland Transportation Authority says it will tear down the remaining structures of the fallen Key Bridge starting this summer or fall in advance of building a new bridge.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s use of the phrase “Black jobs” caught the attention and ire of many Black Americans, including Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott.

The White House is seeking roughly $4 billion in additional emergency funding from Congress for costs related to the collapse and repair of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and to respond to other disasters around the U.S. in recent months.

Federal and Maryland authorities are setting ample safety precautions for the Dali’s voyage Monday from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia.

The Dali was scheduled to head from Seagirt to Norfolk Friday, but that has been bumped to next week. The latest tentative estimate for when the ship will be moved is at noon Monday.

Baltimore is suing the ship’s owner and operator for negligence, seeking to recoup “significant” claims of economic loss.

In a motion and emails filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, claimants’ lawyer Andrew O’Connell says there’s no guaranteed way to make the crew members available for future questioning if they leave the country.

With one phase of the job complete, Gov. Wes Moore said Wednesday he will not be satisfied, “until I can look over on the Patapsco and see the Key Bridge standing tall again.”
