Show Notes
Two years after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, a new cable-stayed bridge design is underway, aiming to restore the citys role in East Coast shipping. The incident, caused by a cargo ship crash, resulted in six deaths and significant disruptions. Recent investigations found ship failures due to a loose wire connection, crew errors, and breakers left in manual mode. The bridges safety risk limit was nearly thirty times overdue due to missing assessments of bigger modern ships. The new bridge design includes stronger piers and a longer span, but rising costs have doubled estimates to five billion dollars, pushing completion to late twenty thirty.
