Key Bridge Nightmare: Contractor Dropped After Costs Spiral

Left-wing Gov. Wes Moore’s claim that the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild is the “fastest-moving large infrastructure project in the United States” just hit a major roadblock.

Fox Baltimore’s Gary Collins reports that Maryland officials canceled Kiewit Infrastructure Co.’s contract for Phase 2 of the bridge rebuild, the construction phase, after the contractor’s proposal reportedly far exceeded state estimates.

This massive setback raises new questions about whether Moore’s administration can actually control costs, properly manage the rebuild, and deliver the “fastest-moving large infrastructure project in the U.S.,” given ballooning expenses.

Collins quoted U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who explained the decision to remove Kiewit after its Phase 2 proposal “far exceeded” state estimates. Those estimates have surged from roughly $1.8 billion to more than $5.2 billion.
