Key Bridge Rebuild

Start Date: Anticipated Summer 2025 End Date: Anticipated Fall 2028

Description:

• At approximately 1:30 a.m. on March 26, 2024, a cargo ship leaving the Port of Baltimore struck the (I-695) Francis Scott Key Bridge. This caused a collapse of the bridge.
• On May 31, 2024, the MDTA released its Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting design-build teams to submit proposals for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge and reconnecting the I-695 Baltimore Beltway.
• For this critical project, the MDTA is using a Progressive Design-Build process, which brings on board a project delivery team under one entity and a single contract to provide both design and construction services. The MDTA will work to foster collaboration among the project team, local communities and stakeholders, ensuring open communication and inclusive partnership opportunities, particularly for small and disadvantaged businesses. The project scope of work and accelerated timeline will require a substantial amount of skilled labor to complete the construction expeditiously, safely and reliably.
• On August 29, 2024, the MDTA approved a $73 million contract (Phase 1) that awards Kiewit Infrastructure Co. as the Progressive Design-Builder that will undertake the complete design and construction of the I695 Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement.
