Ceremonies Held for Key Bridge Collapse Anniversary

On the one-year anniversary of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, Governor Wes Moore and other officials held ceremonies to honor the six workers who died and the resilience of the community. The collapse significantly impacted the local economy, disrupting businesses and commutes. Federal investigators have highlighted the collapse as a warning, identifying numerous other bridges at risk. Crew members of the cargo ship involved remain trapped until they testify in court. Despite challenges, including the pandemic and supply chain issues, business leaders have expressed resilience. Efforts are underway to construct a new, taller bridge to restore this critical infrastructure.
