2 Years and 5 months since the destruction of the
Francis Scott Key Bridge and STILL not much has been done. Granted the channel
was opened for ship traffic but other than that multiple “studies” and
proposals have been offered.
Even the demolition isn’t scheduled to be completed
until April 2026!
Initial settlements have been made from the Dali’s
owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited for $102
million which doesn’t even cover the cost for debris removal.
The cost to rebuild the bridge was estimated last year
at $1.7 to $1.9 billion, which most certainly balloon by 2028.
The owners sited a maritime law the “Limitation of Liability
Act of 1851” limits them to only a maximum of $43.7 million (just 2% of the
damages)
Now to be fair the Federal DOJ and the Maryland AG are
pursuing this still in the court system. But my big point in this is the feet
dragging in Maryland for the demolition of the remnants of the bridge almost 2 ½
years since the destruction.
What exactly is Gov Moore waiting for? The Federal Government
has secured the debris removal funds both by the President and Congress! The
debris removal and the rebuilding has to happen no matter what, but putting the
citizens out of their way for over 4 years is totally unacceptable.

Doesn't look like they have done much in 2 1/2 years. It's hard to believe it's been that long already
Gov Moore has been too busy fighting the orange man!
Not much has been done to stop this negligent behavior of ship owners, just this week a coal carrier exploded very close to where the Key Bridge was. Maybe insurance credentials of $1 billion need to be presented when the Bay pilots board in Norfolk before they are allowed to traverse the Chesapeake Bay!
Seems Wes Moore is out CAMPAIGNING FOR 2028! Just another DEMCOM!
Excellent idea!
He’s too busy grand standing in front of the camera and trying to make Trump look bad. For suggesting that Baltimore’s crime is out of control.
Oh, and taking unnecessary trips on the Maryland taxpayer dime
Jive ni**a thinks he’s Obama
