Md. plans to delay bridge expansion, electric buses in $1.3 billion cuts

For the second year in a row, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s administration is proposing to delay expansion of the heavily congested American Legion Bridge and other infrastructure projects because of a transportation budget shortfall of over a billion dollars, according to a new spending plan released Tuesday. The Democratic governor came into office in 2023 with ambitious infrastructure plans, including the use of only clean energy by 2035 and a Red Line rail project in Baltimore that was abandoned by his predecessor, former governor Larry Hogan (R).
