Update on Baltimore’s Key Bridge Rebuild

No major construction yet—still in pre-construction & demolition phases.

Timeline slipped from 2028 to late 2030, costs ballooned from $1.7-1.9B to $4.3-5.2B due to inflation & added safety features.

January 2026 agreement aims to speed it up, but no new dates set.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In other words, government projects are late, overbudget and overdesigned regardless of who is in charge.

  1. The bridge was struck by a ship in March of 2024. Two years and not even the planning is completed. With computers and AI available, why not?

    Planning for the construction of the Empire State Building began in August of 1929, just before the stock market crash in October of that year. All calculations and design had to be done manually with pen and paper. No computers, no AI, not even a pocket calculator, just slide rules.

    Even so, when the design work was completed, construction began on March 17, 1930. Construction was completed April 11, 1931, just 410 days after construction began. The Empire State Building was officially opened for business on May 1 of that year.

    This shows how foolish and lazy man has become.

      Dig deeper, Pastor. The bridge minstrel show is just like with the current sewage spill into the Potomac River. When DEI Negroes are in charge of things, you cannot expect the same results. Life is a vale of tears. Bleib ubrig.
