On Tuesday, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) and the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (SHA) secured federal environmental approvals for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. This milestone allows the rebuild project to move forward, although there are still structures to be demolished, designs to be drawn up, and the bridge itself to be built. The approval is a crucial step in the process of replacing the span that will once again stand above the Patapsco River.
