One year ago, the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse sent shockwaves through our industry and communities. Today, we honor those whose lives were lost and those whose lives were forever changed. We also recognize the collective efforts of first responders, engineers, and leaders who stepped up after devastation.
Today is a solemn day for the Maryland Department of Transportation as we mark the first anniversary of the devastating strike on the Francis Scott Key Bridge and its subsequent collapse. On this day of remembrance, we honor the lives lost, their families and the heroes who emerged.
