A deal has been reached in a federal spending package that would include the full cost of the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild and avert a government shutdown.

Just over a month after the collapse, Maryland released a timeline for the bridge’s rebuilding. In the timeline, the state laid out the estimated cost of the bridge and set a tentative date for when the rebuilding will be complete: 2028.

The work on rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge will begin in January, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Construction crews will start surveying the Patapsco River and the land near the fallen Francis Scott Key Bridge in January to collect data for designing a new bridge, Maryland officials confirmed.

U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both D-Md.) say Congress covering the cost of the bridge will allow it to be built as quickly as possible.

In October, the Department of Justice announced that the owner and operator of the cargo ship will have to pay more than $100 million to the United States. However, that money will not cover any damages for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Congress passed a spending package Tuesday that fully funds the rebuild and replacement of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which collapsed earlier this year. The bridge collapsed early in the morning on March 26 after the DALI – a cargo ship that lost power – hit it.

The $2 billion rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge is slated to start with preconstruction activities Jan. 7 in the Port of Baltimore.

Donald Trump's proposed tariffs loom over Port of Baltimore and its imports of cars from Mexico; work on new Key Bridge set to start in January; with a new year, new Maryland laws.
