Baltimore memorializes six workers killed in 2024 bridge collapse, with new bridge set for 2028 completion.

One year after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed due to a cargo ship collision, killing six construction workers, Maryland leaders held a memorial ceremony to honor the victims. The bridge's collapse led to the closure of the Port of Baltimore for months, but the port rebounded in 2024. The new cable-stayed bridge, expected to cost over $1.7 billion, is set to be completed by 2028. The National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the cause, with a final report expected in fall 2025.
