Biden Seeks Full Federal Funding for Baltimore Bridge Rebuild

The $100 billion disaster aid request aims to cover the complete reconstruction cost of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.

President Biden's disaster aid request includes $2 billion for the Francis Scott Key Bridge reconstruction after its collapse in March.
The bridge collapsed when a container ship lost power and veered off course, killing six construction workers.
Maryland's congressional delegation is advocating for 100% federal funding, which typically covers 90% of such projects.
The reconstruction project has a 2028 completion target and a $1.7 billion price tag, with a design contract already awarded.
Biden's broader aid package also addresses recovery needs from Hurricanes Helene and Milton across multiple states.
