A year after the Baltimore bridge collapse, a long road to recovery is ahead

One year after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland leaders honor the six construction workers who lost their lives. The collapse led to the closure of the Port of Baltimore for months. Federal investigators criticized the Maryland Transportation Authority for failing to address the bridge’s vulnerability to ship strikes. Maryland drivers are now without the Key Bridge, leading to increased traffic on alternate routes. The Key Bridge was a beloved symbol of Baltimore’s history. Governor Wes Moore described the chaos and shock of the tragedy.
