The Key Bridge disaster is a wake-up call for US infrastructure

President Biden visited the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which has been called a “mangled mess,” on Friday, mourning the loss of the six workers killed in the accident. The economic impact of this accident is significant and goes far beyond the bridge itself. The disaster should serve as a wake-up call to ensure that all bridges, as well as all marine infrastructure in general, can withstand such a collision.
