President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill.
“It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “This is going to take some time, but the people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopen and the bridge is rebuilt.”
He said he spoke with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Tuesday morning, as well as Maryland officials including its congressional delegation and two U.S. senators. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to the Baltimore site.
People keep saying “Key Bridge” and idk if they’re referring to the name or the fact that it’s a vital port for the east coast

Thanks for the explanation for all of the non local people
Thatsthejoke
Yeah I was just making a joke about the name
The vital Key Bridge
Yes.
It’s the name.
I Live 20 mins from the bridge and it’s what it’s always been called. Way better than the full name in terms of efficiency lol
DC has its own key bridge, so it’s doubly confusing for that reason.
