Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) said on Wednesday that the state of Maryland and the federal government need to reduce the 'environmental and regulatory burdens' of helping the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland.
the bridge could be rebuilt in over a year, the environmental and regulatory issues could backtrack time frames in accomplishing such building construction. The current debris has yet to be cleared and the project of reconstruction will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
“Within two days of that bridge collapse, Congress bipartisanly passed a unanimous resolution to spend $250 million to rebuild that bridge. All efforts were streamlined as multiple agencies worked unilaterally to rebuild the bridge safely in record time,” the delegates said in a statement. “The whole country counts on the shipping that goes through that port. And that 695 bridge connection is important to the entire region, as well,” Buttigieg“The Francis Scott Key Bridge is one of the heaviest-trafficked bridges in Baltimore, and its tragic collapse will halt the flow of ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore and hurt the local economy,” Congressman Harris said Wednesday.
“The original bridge took about five years to build, but we want to do everything possible to make sure this takes place as quickly as possible,” Buttigieg said Wednesday. “There is no exact precedent for this. There was the Minnesota bridge collapse. That was not because it was struck by anything. It collapsed because of design issues in 2007. That one took about 14 months to reconstruct.”
