MDTA seeks speed in bids to design, build new Key Bridge by October 2028

Maryland transportation officials are prioritizing speed and experience as they seek bids from private companies to design and build the new Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The Maryland Transportation Authority, an independent state agency responsible for the state’s eight toll facilities, including the Key Bridge, on Friday sent out a formal solicitation for proposals, calling for completion of the bridge design “as quickly as possible” to pave the way for construction.
