The Biden Administration sent a $100 billion disaster relief request to Congress Monday evening; some of those funds will be used to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The request asks for $8 billion for the Transportation Department, which would grant the funds for the project.
The Key Bridge rebuild is expected to cost roughly $2 billion and take until fall 2028 to complete.
President Biden promised to fully fund the project shortly after the collapse of the bridge on March 26. Usually, the federal government only pays for 90% of projects of that nature.
Congress will need to pass a law requiring the government to fit the full bill. There is already legislation drafted to do just that, however, it still has not made it to the president’s desk.
I wonder how long of a detour people had to make that work just across the bridge?
