💨 Abstract

Demolition crews are using heavy equipment to remove sections of Baltimore's collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, which fell after a container ship accident last year, killing six workers. The replacement bridge, set to open in 2028, is planned to be built nearby during the demolition. Wes Moore highlighted the project's magnitude and safety priorities. The bridge was crucial for transportation and port operations, and its replacement will be taller and more protected.
