It was exactly two years ago today that a cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to catch fire and collapse. President Joe Biden recalled crossing the bridge "many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car," even though the bridge had no rail system. Demolition work on the Key Bridge finally began on July 8, 2025. Now, on the second anniversary of the bridge collapse, let check on the progress in rebuilding it.

End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ It's now been 2 years since Key Bridge fell in Baltimore. This is how much is rebuilt:

Initial cost projection: $1.7 billion
Updated cost projection: $5.2 billion

Opening day moved from 2028 to 2030.

Ben Owen™️(@hrkbenowen) ~ If this was in Florida, Ron DeSantis would have already built the bridge.

Jack Butler of the Wall Street Journal's "Free Expression" newsletter claimed that the anniversary was "a good occasion to reflect on the defects of blue-state governance — which are intentional."

Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) ~ Up-and-coming 2028 hopeful Gov. Wes Moore used this bridge collapse story as opening to his '24 DNC intro speech to the nation to prove how good he and Kamala are at fixing things. The evidence: She called him and they agreed to fix it. They did a phone call, not a bridge.
