The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) announced that the demolition of the remaining structures of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore will begin on or about July 7, 2025, weather permitting. This demolition marks a major milestone in the rebuilding project, coming more than 15 months after the bridge collapsed due to a container ship collision. The demolition process is expected to take several months and will involve the use of heavy machinery in the Patapsco River. The initial phase focuses on mobilizing assets and equipment to dismantle the remnants of the bridge. This follows a prolonged period since the collapse, with reconstruction efforts advancing concurrently. Additionally, the Howard Frankland Bridge demolition is scheduled for mid-July, amid discussions about the future of the old 1960s span as it undergoes transformation.
