Maryland Delegation Members Statement on Duffy Key Bridge Letter

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representatives Johnny Olszewski, Steny Hoyer, Kweisi Mfume, Jamie Raskin, Glenn Ivey, Sarah Elfreth, and April McClain Delaney and U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks (all D-Md.) released the following statement on U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's letter to Governor Wes Moore regarding the reconstruction of the Key Bridge:

"The Key Bridge was bigger than Baltimore and Maryland - its collapse took away a vital transportation artery for the broader region and a gateway to the Port of Baltimore. As we have with other major infrastructure disasters with nationwide implications, Congress came together on a bipartisan basis to provide the full resources necessary for reconstruction to ensure it can be rebuilt as quickly and efficiently as possible. The federal government's commitment to fund the rebuild is enacted into law, and the construction contract was awarded through a legal, competitive, transparent process. We will continue working with the Department of Transportation and our partners to keep delivering on this national priority and commitment."
